4 O'Clock Stop

Em              A   C          D       Em                     A
  I don't know why you won't leave me alone.  Keep your mind off of me, and
C           D      Em                         D                       Em
keep your fingers away from the phone.  Because, I won't return your kiss,
D              G   Em        C      D                   Em
and sometimes ignorance is bliss.  Well, I can't handle this.
Em                  A   C           D            Em                       A
  It's alright for you, it doesn't make you an asshole.  It's alright for me,
C         D        Em             D                            Em   D
my life circles around it though.  And I shouldn't close your eyes, and kiss
      G     Em      C   D               Em    D
each one a thousand times, if my heart lies.

CHORUS
     G                                D                           Em
        I was standing, minding my own business when you came up and decided
                  C          G                                 D
you'd mind it for me.  With a short list of long demands and a five gallon
                          Em                              C
pale of sinking sand that you assured me I could take or leave.  Though it
G                                 D                                      Em
never seems to work that way, it seems as though there's so much more to say
                               C
and it's always somewhere in between.

  I would like to see you smile.

Em                         A    C        D                   Em
  My heart is dressed in black, and her heart is dressed in green.  Cause
                     A        C            D    Em            D
you're beautiful in blue and every other color in between.  But rainbows are
     Em    D                      G       Em   C  D             Em
for skies, and hesitation is for sad regretful eyes, and long goodbyes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, rainbows are for skies, and hesitation is for sad regretful
C  D             Em                 C  D            Em                 C  D
eyes, and long goodbyes.  Regretful eyes and long goodbyes.  Regretful eyes
           Em
and long goodbyes.
