Capo 3

G C D (x2)

 G                                  C           
Was a summer's day when you first walked away
        D                        G
At the time I wasn't feeling so bad

Gave me sh*t while I looked away
            C             D                    G
Just like every big conversation that we ever had
                                           C                D
And you know how a thing like that can be such a terrible shame
                         G
Cause it makes you feel mean
      C            D     G       C   D  
Your eyes were so very green

           Em        Bm
And it's foolish to think
           C                D
You would ever consider it again
                     Em
After two or three drinks
                       Bm        
All the books on the subject say
       C                   D                 Em
'Just move along, give yourself some time to think'
                      Bm
They say follow your heart,
               C          D          Em D    C
What if your heart never knew where to go or why?

                    G
You'd have sang goodbye
     C                 D              G
To people whose every word is just a lie
         C              D               G
Like a guilty man who knows he's gonna fry
        C                        D                  G         C   D
I was hoping to catch that old dreamy look in your eye

           Em        Bm       C
And it's foolish to need any sign
                    D                       Em
You'd consider me again after smoking some weed
                         Bm             
All our friends are so bored of hearing
        C                  D                 Em
Every tired and desperate word we'd ever plead
                       Bm
They say follow your heart,
               C          D           Em D     C
What if your heart never knew where to go, or why?

                   G
You'd have sang goodbye
     C                 D            G
To people whose every word is just a lie
           C                          D
And you wonder just a little if your soul
                 G
Isn't starting to die
      C                  D               G
You spend every waking moment wondering why 
 C       D       G
Why why why why why
 C       D       C      D
Why why why why why

C D G(x1)

 G                                    C
Was a winter's day when I finally realized
           D                    G
I was the one always walking away
                                        C
That you tried so many times and I'd ignored
        D                   G
Every word that you had to say

And you know how a thing like that
        C                D
Can be such a terrible shame
                       G
Cause it makes you feel old
           C            D   G          C    D
And your words were so very cold

           Em         Bm
And it's foolish to think
         C                     D               Em
You can bury it all in some endless drive to drink
                  Bm                     C
Every person you meet can tell you're a ship
                    D                           Em
Taking water in a storm and you're starting to sink

                    Bm
If you follow your heart
              C        D               Em   D
Then you're bound to become something else
          C        D           Em  D   C
You take one hard look at yourself
              G                C      
And you'll say I'm gonna do everything
              D                  G     
You said I couldn't do when I was high
           C                  D              G
And I'll write your name in stars across the sky
           C                D                     G
And we'll meet somewhere someday and you'll ask me why
 C       D       G
Why why why why why
 C       D       G
Why why why why why
 C       D       G
Why why why why why
