I found this on the band's Youtube, in the comments board (apparently a fan had asked them and this was Hellogoodbye's courteous reply). Just wanted to post the basic chord progression, cuz as of yet there are no chords ANYWHERE (sad day...). -- Progression: verse: C, Gm, Am, F, G chorus: C, F7, C, G7 C(032010) Gm(355333) Am(002210) F(133211) G(320003) F7(131211) G7(320001) intro: C Gm Am F G C Gm Patiently, I've waited patiently Am F G Hoping that you'd believe C Gm Am That the lights in our eyes F G Are not fading out They're not yet fading out Somehow we're safe and sound Like the glow off the shore We will hurry C F7 What could I ever do? C G7 What could I say? C F7 To cover up my concerns? C G7 To keep them at bay? C F7 Oh, then she said, C G7 "You spend too much time in your head" C F7 What could I ever do? C G7 What could I say so carefully? Carefully, I followed carefully Too scared of a scraped knee So I wait on the sand With her Coppertone Yeah, she put on Coppertone And went out there all alone Never one to be scared or to worry What could I ever do? What could I say? To cover up my concerns? To keep them at bay? Oh, then she said, "You spend too much time in your head" What could I ever do? What could I say so carefully? What could I ever do? Oh, what could I say? To cover up my concerns? To keep them at bay? Oh, then she said, "You spend too much time in your head" What could I ever do? Oh, what could I say so carefully? (instrumental) What could I ever do? Oh, what could I say? To cover up my concerns? To keep them at bay? Oh, then she said, "You spend too much time in your head" What could I ever do? Oh, what could I say so carefully?
