intro : B5 
 
B5 
I've driven round in circles for three hours 

it was bound to happen that I'd up at yours 

I temporarily forgot that there's better days to come 

I thought that I would give you just one more chance 
 

      E5                                      D5 
cos I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for 
      E5                                     D5 
but I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about 
 

B5 
you think you are complicated, deep mystery to all 

well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special 

all energy no meaning, with a lot of words 

so paper thin that one real feeling could knock you down 
 

       E5                                           D5 
and I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about 
       E5                                             D5 
I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind 
 

B5 
so see you when you're 40, lost and all alone 

being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know 

not sad because you lost me 

but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad 
 

B5 
you think misery will make you stand out from the crowd 

well if you had walked past me today  

I wouldn't have picked you out 

I wouldn't have picked you out 
 

       E5                                        D5 
now I've seen, tonight, how could I waste my time 
       E5                                 D5 
and I'll be on my way and I won't be back 
       E5                                        D5 
cos I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about 
        E5                                         D5 
you're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back
