Did I Tell You
Yo La Tengo


G           Am       C                     G
     Did I tell you    of the dark lonely road

G                      Am                      C             D
     I was counting my steps as I made my way home

G                        Am                  C               Am
     Days of nothing but time on your hands,     weighing on me

D            Em        C
     Can't deny it

D        Em      C
     undecided

D               Em           C            
     Whether to count what I felt against

Bm                Am
     what I could say - I try not to

G D C D x4
wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
Brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait.

G Am x2

   2nd verse mostly same as the first, but the D Em part has a bit
   different timing, it goes to the Em one beat sooner. 


Our love is so important to me
Starts wherever you land, walks right over to me
Days of nothing but time in between, obviously  (or I'll be asleep)

So unwary
so uncaring
I try not to be part of that, well, that's
easy to say

I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
Brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait.

G F x3
G F Am

D              Em         C
     There's a moment
D          Em         C
     to discover
D                Em         C
     no one can take all the blame
              Bm      Am
     and it's finally clear.

G  D  C  D x6
I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
Brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait,
willing to wait, willing to wait.
G  D  C  F G
