I sit two [G]stories abo[C/G]ve the str[G]eet  [G]
It's awful [G]quiet here since l[C/G]ove fell asl[G]eep  [G]
There's life down be[Am]low me though[G/B]
[C]  The kids are walk[D]ing home from sch[G]ool [C/G]      [G]         [G]

So long a[G]go when w[C/G]e were taught[G]    [G]
That for what[G]ever kind of [C/G]puzzle you've got [G]     [G]
You just stick the right f[Am]ormula in [G/B]
A so[C]lution for e[D]very f[G]ool [C/G]      [G]         [G]

I remember the t[D]ime when I [D]came so cl[C]ose to y[C]ou
Sent me [G]skipping my cl[G]ass and r[Am7]unning from sch[Am7]ool
      [C]                [C]           [D] [tacet]
And I bought you that ring cause I never was cool
What makes me th[G]ink I could st[D]art clean sla[C]ted
    [C]            [D] [tacet]                 [G]   [C/G]  [G]  [G]    [G]  [C]/[G]  [G]  [G]
The hardest to learn was the least complicated  [mandolin]

Oh I just [G]sit up in the [C/G]house and res[G]ist [G]
And not be [G]seen until I [C/G]cease to ex[G]ist [G]
A kind of conscientious ob[Am7]jection [G/B]
[C]  A kind of [D]dodging the [G]dra[C/G]ft   [G]      [G]

The boy and [G]girl are holding [C/G]hands on the str[G]eet [G]
And I don't want t[G]o but I th[C/G]ink you just w[G]ait [G]
It's more than just [Am7]eye-to-eye[G/B]
Learn the th[C]ings I could n[D]ever appl[G]y  [Gsus4]         [G]            [G]

And I remember the t[D]ime when I [D]came so cl[C]ose with you [C]
I let [G]everything g[G]o it seemed the [Am7]only truth [Am7]
      [C]                [C]                  [D] [tacet]
And I bought you that ring; it seemed the thing to do
What makes me th[G]ink I could st[D]art clean sl[C]ated
    [C]            [D] [tacet]                 [G]    [G]
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
So what makes me th[G]ink I could st[D]art clean sl[C]ated
The [C]hardest to le[D]arn was the l[D]east complica[G]ted  [G]

Ohhhh[Am7]h, I'm just a [Am7]mirror of a [Em7]mirror of my[Em7]self
[C]  All the th[D]ings that I d[G]o   [G]
And the [Em]next time I f[Em]all, I'm gonna [Bm]have to rec[Bm]all

It isn't love, it's only something   new
