you  fell down  of course and then you
 got up of course and started over
 forgot my name  of course
 then you started to remember
 pretty tough to think about  the beginning of December
pretty  tough to think about
 pretty tough to think about  yeah yeah  pretty tough to think about
 you're looking down  again  and then you look me over
 we're laying down  again  on a blanket in the clover
 the same boy you've always known  well I guess I haven't grown
the  same boy you've always known
  A A G <-(only play the first few strings of
 the same boy you've always known this G, then go right into the G5)
think  of what the past did it could've lasted
 so put it in your basket
I  hope you know a strong man who can lend you a hand
E
lowering my casket
e|-----3
 The beginning definitely starts with a B|-2h4-- and I think you can just
 make up the rest of it since its most likely improved anyway. Just play around
 with it and some of the stuff from the intro and I bet you'll get pretty close.
I  thought this is just today  and soon you'll be returning
 the coldest blue  ocean water cannot stop  my heard and mind from burning
 everyone  who's in the know says  that's exactly how it goes
 and  if there's anything good about me  I'm the only one who knows
