CAPO II

Intro: C G C Em
       C Em G C Em

G
I made a choice that very night
            Em
To become a slightly better man
          G
I started white-washing my hands
             D          C
Of all those passings

G
And as you waited alone in your car outside
  Em
I politely but quite firmly declined your
G                  D       C
Invitation for the evening

D       Em        C     G
So hold out your weary hands,
D           Em    C       G
Let me tell your fortune again.
D              Em                    C    G
Your future is brighter than you'll ever know
D               C      G
Now that we are on our own.


Interlude (same as Intro)


G
And there are things you deserve to know,
    Em
The rest you have to earn.
G         D        C
I have no remorse.


G
And as soon as I hung up the phone I knew
          Em
That this disaster was finally through.
            G
And I could hear through the cloudy line
          D           C
That this took you by surprise.


D       Em       C     G
So hold out your weary hands,
D           Em    C       G
Let me tell your fortune again.
D              Em                   C    G
Your future is brighter than you'll ever know
D               C      G
Now that we are on our own.


D
And it's true that I have no idea
         C               G
What the universe has in store.
      D      
But I do know that when you think it can't
C       G
Get any worse,
           D
It does... It does... It does.
