You Cost Me Too Much Chords by Gin Blossoms

Song: "You Cost Me Too Much" (acoustic demo)
Artist: Gin Blossoms

///Play around with the little finger on the D chords; he does a lot of switching
around between the Dmajor and the Dsus4.  Also, the C to G progression in the intro
and the ends of the choruses is just a quick downbeat on the C and then right back
to the G.///

INTRO: G G C G G C G G C G

        D               G                            
I could fall asleep for you, my girl 
         C 
But it's not enough 
        D                   G 
For the scenes of your last visit 
    C
Lie buried in the dust 
           D                 G 
If I don't fall in love with you, my girl 
       C
Please understand 
        D            G
I'll go find another county
    C 
And leave it in the end 
          G           D
I've seen forty-seven pictures 
         C            D
All with you upon the face
         Em               D 
From the noise I'm making running
     C         D 
Is a secondary pace
         G                   D 
From the scenes of your last visit
        C                D 
I still feel it where we touch
      Em       D      G   C G 
Where you cost me too much 

Oh, the time I spent with you, my girl 
Was all in vain 
Waiting out the rapids 
You can't escape the pain 
And if I fall in love with you, my girl 
It'll never end 
And the sky will likely open 
Raining holocaust and zen 
At the west side of the forest 
On a highway in the sun 
Stands a pointless individual 
Who knows his time has come 
Though I know it's nothing funny 
I'm still howling like a lush 
'Cause you cost me too much 

D                G
It's the same in here
D                         G 
Nothing's changed yet, my dear
       Em 
Oh, if I had known to know you well
D7                                G   C G  C G 
Lock us up in a sinner's hell for days 

If I don't fall in love with you, my girl 
Please understand 
I'll go find another city 
And leave it in the end 
And if I run away with you, my girl 
Please try to see 
I'll do all I can to please you 
But I don't expect you'll be 
On the highest roof around me 
Where I'm feeling pretty dumb 
I scan on the horizon 
For other dumbshits as they come 
I'm growing older faster 
Still howling like a lush 
       Em       D
'Cause you cost me
Em       D
You cost me 
Em       D      G   C G
You cost me too much
