"welcome  to the real world"
 she said  to me condescendingly
 "take a  seat, take your life
plot  it out in black and white"
well  I never lived the dreams of the prom  kings
 and the drama queens
 I'd like to think the best  of me
 is still hiding up  my sleeve
 they love to tell you "stay
 in-side the  lines_____"
 but something's  better on  the other side_______
I  want to run  through the halls of my high  school
 I want to scream at  the top of my lungs.
 I just found out there's  no such thing as the real  world
 just a lie you've  got to rise a-bove
so  the good boys and girls take the so-called  right track
 faded white hats grabbing cred-its,  maybe transfers
 they read  all the books but they can't find the answers
And  all of our parents, they're getting old-er
 I wonder if they've wished for anything better
 while in their memories, tiny tragedies
 they love to tell you "stay
in-side "
 but something's  better on  the other side_______
I  want to run  through the halls of my high  school
 I want to scream at  the top of my lungs.
 I just found out there's  no such thing as the real  world
 just a lie you've  got to rise a-bove
 I am invin-cible
 I am invin-cible
 I am invin-cible
 as long  as I'm alive
]
I  want to run  through the halls of my high  school
 I want to scream at  the top of my lungs.
 I just found out there's  no such thing as the real  world
 just a lie you've  got to rise a-bove
 I just can't wait for  my ten year re-union
 I'm gonna bust down  the double doors
 and when I stand  on these tables be-fore  you
 you will know  what all this time was for
 2. Why Georgia
I  am driving  up eighty-five  in the
 Dadd4  D6add4 *9
 Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
 I'm just stuck inside the gloom
Four  more exits  to my  apartment
   Dadd4  D6add4 *9
 But I am tempted to keep the car in drive
 And leave it all behind
'Cause  I wonder sometimes
 About the outcome
 Of a still verdictless life
Am  I living it right
Am  I living it right
Am  I living it right
Why,  why Georgia, why
I  rent a room  and I fill  the spaces  with
 Dadd4  D6add4 *9
 Wood in places to make it feel like home
 But all I feel's alone
 D6add4 C6*9
 It might be a quarter-life crisis
 Or just the stirring in my soul
 Either way
I wonder sometimes
 About the outcome
 Of a still verdictless life
Am  I living it right
Am  I living it right
Am  I living it right
Why,  why Georgia, why
So  what so I've got  a smile  on
 But it's hiding the quiet  superstitions  in my head
Don't  believe me
Don't  believe me
 When I say I've  got  it down
Everybody  is just  a stranger
 But that's  the danger  in
 Dadd4 *9
 Going my own way
 I guess it's the price I have to pay
Still  everything happens  for a reason
 Is no reason  not to ask myself if I am
living  it right
Am  I living it right
Am  I living it right
Why,  tell me why
Why,  why Georgia, why
 3. My Stupid Mouth
 MY STUPID MOUTH - JOHN MAYER
 My stupid mouth  Has got  me in trouble
I  said too much  again
 To a date  over dinner yesterday
 And I could  see she  was offended
She  said "well anyway..."
Just dying  for a subject  change
 Oh,  a - nother  social casualty Score one more for me
How  could I  forget?  Mama said "think before speaking"
No  filter in  my head Oh, what's  a boy to do
 
I  guess  he  better  find one soon
 We bit our lips  she looked  out the window rolling  tiny balls of napkin  paper
 I played a quick  game of chess with the salt  and pepper shak - er
 And I could  see clearly  an indelible line was drawn
Between what  was good, what just  slipped out and what went wrong
Oh,  the way  she  feels about  me has changed
Thanks  for playing, try  a -gain.
How  could I  forget?  Mama said "think before speaking"
No  filter in  my head Oh, what's  a boy to do
 I guess  he better find one
 I'm never speaking up  a - gain
 It only hurts  me
I'd rather be  a myste - ry
 Than she  de - sert  me
Oh  I'm never speaking up again
 
 Starting  now
 One more thing why  is it my fault?
 So maybe I try  too hard
 But it's all  because of  this desire
 I just wanna be liked,  I just wanna  be fun - ny
 Looks like the jokes on me,  so call  me captain backfire
 Oh,  a - nother  social casualty Score one more for me
How  could I  forget?  Mama said "think before speaking"
No  filter in  my head Oh, what's  a boy to do
 
I  guess  he  better  find one soon
 4. Your Body Is A Wonderland
 (chords of intro)
 We've  got the  afternoon, You've got this room for two
One  thing  I've  left to do, Discover me discovering you
 One mile  to  every inch of, your skin like porcelain
 One  pair  of candy lips and your bubblegum tongue
 And if you want  love we'll make  it
 We'll swim in a deep  sea of blankets
 Take all your big  plans and break  'em
 This is bound  to be  a while
 Your body is a wonderland
 Your body is a wonder  I'll use  my hands
 Your body is a wonderland  (Repeat)
 Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
 I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillow case
 You tell me where to go though I might leave to find it
 I'll never let your head hit the bed without my hand behind it (to bridge)
Damn,  baby You frustrate me
I  know you're mine all mine all mine
But  you look so good it hurts sometimes

 (I)
 When sky blue gets dark enough
 To see the colors of the city lights
 A trail of ruby red and diamond white
 Hits her like a sunrise
 (II)
 She comes and goes and comes and goes
 Like no one can
 (I)
 Tonight she's out to lose herself
 And find a high on Peachtree Street
 From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
 Heavy into everything
 (III)
 She comes and goes and comes and goes
 Like no one can
 She comes and goes and no one knows
 She's slipping through my hands
 (IV)
 She's always buzzing just like
 Neon, neon
 Neon, neon
 (V)
 Who knows how long, how long, how long
 (VI)
 She can go before she burns away
 (I)
 I can't be her angel now
 You know it's not my place to hold her down
 And it's hard for me to take a stand
 When I would take her anyway I can
 (VII)
 She comes and goes and comes and goes
 Like no one can
 She comes and goes and no one knows
 She's slipping through my hands

 Neon, neon

 I never liked this apple much
 It always seemed too big to touch
 I can't remember how I found
 My way before she came around
 I tell everyone
 I smile just because
 I've got a city love
 I found it in Lydia
 And I can't remember life before her name
 She keeps a toothbrush at my place
 As if I had the extra space
 She steals my clothes to wear to work
 I know - her hairs are on my shirts
 I tell everyone
 I smile just because
 I've got a city love
 I found it in Lydia
 And I can't remember life before
 The day
 She called up and came to me
 Covered in rain
 And dinnertime shadowing
 And as her clothes spun, we spooned
 And I knew I was through
 When I said "I love you"
 Friday evening, we've been drinking
 2 AM, I swear I might propose
 but we close the tab
 split a cab
 and call each other up when we get home
 falling asleep to the sound
 of sirens
 I've got a city love
 I found it in Lydia
 From the battery
 To the gallery
 It's the kind of thing you only see
 In scented, glossy magazines
 And I can't remember life before her name

 (1)
 I have these dreams I'm walking home
 home where it used to be
 everything is as it was
 frozen in front of me
 Here I stand six feet small
 romanticizing years ago
 well it's a bittersweet feeling
 hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the radio
 (2) and these days
 I wish I was six again
 oh make me a red cape
 I wanna be Superman
 (3) oh if only my life was more like 1983
 all these things would be more like they were at the start of me
 I had it made in 83
 (1)
 thinking about my brother Ben
 I miss him everyday
 he looks just like his brother John
 but on an eighteen month delay
 here I stand six feet small
 and smiling cause I'm scared as hell
 kinda like your life is like a sequel to a movie
 where the actors' names have changed
 (2) well these days
 I wish I was six again
 oh make me a red cape
 I wanna be Superman
 (3) oh if only my life was more like 1983
 all these things would be more like they were at the start of me
 if my life was more like 1983
 plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me
 (4)
 and most my memories have escaped me
 or confused themselves with dreams
 (5) if heaven's all they want it to be
 send your prayers to me care of 1983
 (Jam)
 you can paint that house a rainbow of colors
 rip out the floorboards
 and replace the the shutters
 but that's my plastic in the dirt
 whatever happened to my
 whatever happened to my
 whatever happened to my lunchbox
 when came the day when it got
 thrown away and
 don't you think I should have had some say in that decision
 more like
 more like
 more like (7) 1983

 mostly plucking- just pluck the strings in the chord and you'll be able to figure it out.
I’m  writing you  to
Catch  you up on places  I’ve been
You  held this letter
Probably  got excited,  but there’s nothing  else inside it
 Didn’t have a camera  by  my  side this  time
 Hoping I would see  the  world  with  both  my eyes
 Maybe I will tell  you  all  about  it when i’m
In  the mood to lose  my way with words
 Repeat Intro
Today  skies  are painted colors  of a cowboy’s  cliche’
And  strange how clouds  that look like mountains  in the sky
Are  next to mountains anyway
 Didn’t have a camera  by  my  side this  time
 Hoping I would see  the  world  with  both  my eyes
 Maybe I will tell  you  all  about  it when i’m
In  the mood to lose  my way with words
 You should  have seen  that sunrise  with your own eyes
 It brought  me back  to life
 You’ll  be with  me next time  I go outside
Just  no more  3x5’s
 Repeat Intro
Today I  finally  overcame
 Tryin’ to fit the world  inside a  picture  frame
 Maybe I will tell  you  all  about  it when I’m in  the mood to
Lose  my way but let me say
 You should  have seen  that sunrise  with your own eyes
 It brought  me back  to life
 You’ll  be with  me next time  I go outside
No  more  3x5’s
Just  no more  3x5’s
 9. Love Song For No One
 Intro , , , *, ,
Staying  home alone  on a Friday
 flat  on the floor  looking back
on  old love
or lack  thereof
After  all the crushes  have faded
 and  all my wishful  thinking was wrong
 I'm  jaded
 I  hate  it
I'm  tired of being  alone
so  hurry up and get  here
So  tired of being  alone
so  hurry up and  get here get here
 Searching  all my days  to find you
not  sure what I'm  looking for
I'll  know where
when  I see  you
Until  then I'll hide  in my bedroom
 just  staying up all night  just to write
 a  love song
for  no  one
I'm  tired of being  alone
so  hurry up and get  here
So  tired of being  alone
so  hurry up and  get here
   I could have met  you in a sandbox
   I could have passed  you on the sidewalk
 
  Could  I have missed my chance and watched you walk away
 I could have met  you in a sandbox
 I could have passed  you on the sidewalk
 
  Could  I have missed my chance and watched you walk away
 I'm  tired of being  alone
so  hurry up and get  here
So  tired of being  alone
so  hurry up and  get here
You'll be  so good
You'll be  so good  for me
I  know  you'll  be so good
for me
for me

 10. Back To You
 Back To You by John Mayer
Back  to you
 It always comes around
 Back to you
 I tried to forget  you
 I tried to stay away
 But it's too late
Over  you
 I'm never over
 Over you
 Something about  you
 It's just the way you move
 The way you move me
Yeah
 I'm so good  at forgetting
 And I quit every game  I play
 But forgive me, love
 I can't turn  or walk away
Back  to you
 It always come around
 Back to you
 I walk with your shadow
 I'm sleeping in my bed
 With your silhouette
Yeah
 Should have smiled  on that picture
 If that's the last  that I'll see  of you
 It's the least that you
Could  not do
 Adlib: --
Leave  the light  on
I'll  never give up on you
Leave  the light  on
 For me  too
 For me  too
 For me  too
Yeah
Back  to me
 I know that it comes
 Back to me
 Doesn't it scare  you
 Your will is not as strong
 As it used to be

 (1) Check your pulse
 Its proof that you're not listening to
 The call your life's been issuing you
 The rhythm of the line of idle days
 (2) Scared of the world outside you should go explore
 Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors (004030)
 (1) Lamplight makes the shadows play
 and posters take the walls away
 The TV is a window pane
 The view wont let you down
 (1) So put your faith in a late night show
 I bet you didn't even know
 Depends on how far out you go
 The channel numbers change
 (3) Scared of the world outside you should go explore
 Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors
 (4) Though lately I can't blame you
 I have seen the world
 And sometimes wish your room had room for two
 So go unlock the door
 and find what you are here for
 (3) Leave the great indoors
 (3) Leave the great indoors

 12. Not Myself
 sup-pose I said  I am on  my best behaviour
 and there are times  I lose my worried mind?
 would  you want me when  ---- I'm not my  self?
   wait it out  while I am someone  else
 Sup-pose I  said col  - ors change for no  good reason
 And words will  go from  po-et-ry to prose?
  Would  you want  me when I'm not my  self?
  Wait  it out while  I am some one else
And  I  In  time
  Will  come  a - round
 I  always do
 For  you
 
 
  Sup  - pose I said  you're
  my  saving grace  My  grace... would you want  me
  When  I'm not myself...  not  myself when I'm someone
  Else.....................  when  I'm someone else
  When I'm some - one  else when i'm not my -
 Self
 Begin to Fade
 Wait it out while I  am some - one  else
 Wait it out while I  am some - one  else

[Em9]"welcome to the real world"
she [F#7]said to me condescendingly
"take [C#7sus4]a seat, take your life
[Em9]plot it out in black and white"

[Emaj9]well I never lived the dreams of the prom[Amaj9] kings
and the drama queens
I'd like to think the [C#7sus4]best of me
is still hiding [F#7]up my sleeve

they [Asus2]love [A6/9]to [Asus2type2]tell [Amaj9]you [Asus2]"stay [A6/9]
in-[Asus2type2]side [Amaj9]the lines_____[Emaj9]"
but [F#7]something's better [Asus2]on the other side_______[Emaj9]

[Emaj9]I want to [Am9]run through the halls of my [Emaj9]high school
I want to scream [Am9]at the top of my [Emaj9]lungs.
I just found out [Am9]there's no such thing as the [Emaj9]real world
just a lie [Am9]you've got to rise a-[Emaj9]bove

[Emaj9]so the good boys and girls take the [Amaj9]so-called right track
faded white hats grabbing cred-[C#7sus4]its, maybe transfers
they [Em9]read all the books but they can't find the answers
[Emaj9]And all of our parents, they're getting old-[Amaj9]er
I wonder if they've wished for anything [C#7sus4]better
while in their memories, tiny [F#7]tragedies

2. Why Georgia

[D5]   [Dadd4]   [D5]   [Dadd4]

[D5]I am [Dadd4]driving up [D5]eighty-[Dadd4]five in the

[D5]      Dadd4        [D5]        D6add4   [C6]*9
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon

I'm just stuck inside the gloom [D5]      [Dadd4]              [D5]                   [Dadd4]

[D5]Four more [Dadd4]exits to [D5]my a[Dadd4]partment

    [D5]   Dadd4      [D5]       D6add4      [C6]*9
But I am tempted to keep the car in drive

And leave it all behind[D5]   [Dadd4]

[Em7]'Cause I [D5]wonder [G5]sometimes

About the [Em7]outcome

Of a still [D5]verdictless [G5]life

[D5]Am I living it [Asus4]right   [G5]

[D5]Am I living it [Asus4]right   [Em7]

[D5]Am I living it [Asus4]right   [G5]

[F]Why, why [C]Georgia, [G5]why

[D5]I rent a [Dadd4]room and I [D5]fill the [Dadd4]spaces with

[D5]      Dadd4     [D5]      D6add4        [C6]*9
Wood in places to make it feel like home

But all I feel's alone[D5]     [Dadd4]

D6add4                           C6*9
It might be a quarter-life crisis

Or just the stirring in my soul[D5]     [Dadd4]

Either way

[Em7]I   [D5]wonder [G5]sometimes

About the [Em7]outcome

Of a still [D5]verdictless [G5]life

[D5]Am I living it [Asus4]right   [G5]

[D5]Am I living it [Asus4]right   [Em7]

[D5]Am I living it [Asus4]right   [G5]

[F]Why, why [C]Georgia, [G5]why

[Bbsus2]So what so I've [Csus2]got a [Bbsus2]smile on

But it's hiding the [Csus2]quiet supersti[Bbsus2]tions in my head

[G5]Don't be[Csus2]lieve [D5]me

[G5]Don't be[Csus2]lieve [D5]me

When I [Em7]say [Dsus2]I've g[Cm9]ot it [F]down[D5]     [Dadd4]

[D5]Every[Dadd4]body is [D5]just a [Dadd4]stranger

But [D5]that's the [Dadd4]danger in

[D5]    Dadd4     [C6]*9
Going my own way

I guess it's the price I have to pay[D5]     [Dadd4]             [D5]                  [Dadd4]

[Em7]Still everything [D5]happens for a [G5]reason

Is no [Asus4]reason not to ask myself if I am

[D5]living it [Asus4]right   [G5]

[D5]Am I living it [Asus4]right   [Em7]

[D5]Am I living it [Asus4]right   [G5]

[F]Why, tell me why

[F]Why, why [C]Georgia, [G5]why

3. My Stupid Mouth

MY STUPID MOUTH - JOHN MAYER

[D]   [D/C#]   [D/F#]   [G]    [Bm]     [D/F#]    [G]

My stupid [D]mouth Has [D/C#]got me in trouble
[D/F#]I said too [G]much again
[Bm]  To a [D/F#]date over dinner [G]yesterday
And I could[Bm] see  [D/F#]she was offended
[G]She said "well anyway..."
[Bm]Just [D/F#]dying for a [G]subject change
[G]       [F#sus] [Bb]      [F#] [Bb]     [Bm7]
Oh,[D7] a - noth[G]er social casualty            Score one more for me
[G]How could [D/F#]I forget? [Em7] Mama said "think before [D/F#]speaking"
[G]No filter [D/F#]in my head  Oh, [F2]what's a boy to do
  [G2] [B]                      [D]   [D/C#]   [D/F#]
[G]I gu[Bm]ess h[D/F#]e bette[G]r find one soon

We bit our [D]lips she [D/C#]looked out the window [D/F#]rolling tiny balls of [G]napkin paper
[Bm] I played a [D/F#]quick game of chess with the [G]salt and pepper shak - er
[Bm] And I [D/F#]could see clearly  [G] an indelible line was [Bm]drawn
[Bm]Between [D/F#]what was good, what [G]just slipped out and what went wrong
[G]Oh, the [F#sus]way sh[Bb]e feels a[F#]bou[Bb]t me has changed
[Bm7]          [D7sus4]Thanks for playing, [D7]try a -[G]gain.
[G]How could [D/F#]I forget? [Em7]  Mama said "think before [D/F#]speaking"
[G]No filter [D/F#]in my head  Oh, [F2]what's a boy to do
I [G2]gue[B]ss he better find one

[D] I'm  [D/C#]never   [D/F#]speaking [G]up a - [Bm]gain
It  [D/F#]only   [G]hurts me
[Bm]I'd  [D/F#]rather [G]be a myste - [Bm]ry
Than [D/F#]she de - [G]sert me
[Bb]Oh I'm never speaking up again
         [D]   [D/C#]   [D/F#]   [G]   [Bm]
St[Gm]art[Bb]ing now

One more [D]thing  [D/C#]why is it my [D/F#]fault?
So maybe I [G]try too [Bm]hard
But it's [D/F#]all because of[G] this desire
I just wanna be [Bm]liked, I just w[D/F#]anna be fun - [G]ny
Looks like the jokes on me, [Bm]  so   [D/F#]call me captain [G]backfire
[G]       [F#sus] [Bb]      [F#] [Bb]     [Bm7]
Oh,[D7] a - noth[G]er social casualty            Score one more for me
[G]How could [D/F#]I forget? [Em7] Mama said "think before [D/F#]speaking"
[G]No filter [D/F#]in my head  Oh, [F2]what's a boy to do
  [G2] [B]                     [D]   [D/C#]   [D/F#]
[G]I gu[Bm]ess h[D/F#]e bette[G]r find one soon

4. Your Body Is A Wonderland

[F]   [Csus4]   [Bb]   [Csus4]

(chords of intro)
[F]      [Csus4]      [Bb]    [Csus4]    [F]
We'[Bb]ve  got th[Csus4]e afternoon,        You've got this room for two
[F]     [Csus4]      [Bb]      [Csus4]    [F]
[Csus4]One   thin[Bb]g I've[Csus4] left to do,   Discover me discovering you
[F]    [Csus4]   [Bb]    [Csus4]    [F]
One  [Bb]mile to[Csus4] every inch of, your skin  like porcelain
[F]     [Csus4]   [Bb]    [Csus4]         [F]
One[Bb]   pa[Csus4]ir of candy lips and your bubblegum tongue

And if you [Gm]want love we'll [Csus4]make it
We'll swim in a [Gm]deep sea of [Csus4]blankets
Take all your [Gm]big plans and [Csus4]break 'em
This is [Gm]bound to [F/A]be  a wh[Bb2]ile

Your body is a [F]wonder[Csus4]land     [Bb]          [Csus4]
Your body is a [F]wonder I'll [Csus4]use  my  [Bb]hands[Csus4]
Your body is a [F]wonder[Csus4]land     [Bb]     [Csus4]        (Repeat)

[F - Csus4 - Bb - Csus4]

Something 'bout the way the   hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillow case
You tell me where to go though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed without my hand behind it (to bridge)

[Dm7add9]Damn, baby  You frustrate me
[Dm7add9]I know you're mine all mine all mine
[Dm7add9]But you look so good it hurts sometimes

[Dm7add9]       [Dm7add9]       [Dm7add9]       [Dm7add9]

(I)
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise

(II)
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can

(I)
Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything

(III)
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands

(IV)
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
(V)
Who knows how long, how long, how long
(VI)
She can go before she burns away

(I)
I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can

(VII)
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands

Neon, neon

Who knows how long, how long, how long

I never liked this apple much
It always seemed too big to touch
I can't remember how I found
My way before she came around

I tell everyone
I smile just because
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
And I can't remember life before her name

She keeps a toothbrush at my place
As if I had the extra space
She steals my clothes to wear to work
I know - her hairs are on my shirts

I tell everyone
I smile just because
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
And I can't remember life before
The day
She called up and came to me
Covered in rain
And dinnertime shadowing
And as her clothes spun, we spooned
And I knew I was through
When I said "I love you"

Friday evening, we've been drinking
2 AM, I swear I might propose
but we close the tab
split a cab
and call each other up when we get home
falling asleep to the sound
of sirens

I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia

From the battery
To the gallery
It's the kind of thing you only see
In scented, glossy magazines

And I can't remember life before her name

(1)

I have these dreams I'm walking home
home where it used to be
everything is as it was
frozen in front of me

Here I stand six feet small
romanticizing years ago
well it's a bittersweet feeling
hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the radio

(2) and these days
I wish I was six again
oh make me a red cape
I wanna be Superman

(3) oh if only my life was more like 1983
all these things would be more like they were at the start of me
I had it made in 83

(1)

thinking about my brother Ben
I miss him everyday
he looks just like his brother John
but on an eighteen month delay

here I stand six feet small
and smiling cause I'm scared as hell
kinda like your life is like a sequel to a movie
where the actors' names have changed

(2) well these days
I wish I was six again
oh make me a red cape
I wanna be Superman

(3) oh if only my life was more like 1983
all these things would be more like they were at the start of me
if my life was more like 1983
plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me

(4)

and most my memories have escaped me
or confused themselves with dreams
(5) if heaven's all they want it to be
send your prayers to me care of 1983

(Jam)

you can paint that house a rainbow of colors
rip out the floorboards
and replace the the shutters
but that's my plastic in the dirt

whatever happened to my
whatever happened to my
whatever happened to my lunchbox
when came the day when it got
thrown away and
don't you think I should have had some say in that decision

more like
more like
more like (7) 1983

Back To You by John Mayer

[A] [F#m] [Bm] [E] [F#m]

[A]Back to you
It always comes a[F#m]round

Back to you
I tried to for[Bm]get you
I tried to stay a[E]way
But it's too [F#m]late

[A]Over you
I'm never o[F#m]ver

Over you
Something a[Bm]bout you
It's just the way you [E]move
The way you move [F#m]me

[E]Yeah
I'm so [F#m]good at for[D]getting   [E]
And I quit e[F#m]very [D]game I [E]play
But for[F#m]give [C#m]me, [D]love
I can't [Bm]turn or walk a[E]way

[A]Back to you
It always come a[F#m]round

Back to you
I walk with your [Bm]shadow
I'm sleeping in my [E]bed
With your sil[F#m]houette

[E]Yeah
Should have [F#m]smiled on that [D]picture   [E]
If that's the [F#m]last that I'll [D]see of [E]you
It's the [F#m]least [C#m]that [D]you
[Bm]Could not [E]do

Adlib:  [F]-[C]-[G]

(1) Check your pulse
Its proof that you're not listening to
The call your life's been issuing you
The rhythm of the line of idle days

(2) Scared of the world outside you should go explore
Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors (004030)

(1) Lamplight makes the shadows play
and posters take the walls away
The TV is a window pane
The view wont let you down

(1) So put your faith in a late night show
I bet you didn't even know
Depends on how far out you go
The channel numbers change

(3) Scared of the world outside you should go explore
Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors
(4) Though lately I can't blame you
I have seen the world
And sometimes wish your room had room for two
So go unlock the door
and find what you are here for
(3) Leave the great indoors
(3) Leave the great indoors

(6) Check your pulse
Its proof that you're not listening to
the call your life's been issuing you
