I Didnt Understand Acoustic Chords

(ver. 2)
Elliott Smith
[Intro]
Am  Dm     Bb  C  C#dim  Dm  F7/Eb
Dm  Dm7/C  Bb
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am         Dm       Bb       C      C#dim   Dm      F7/Eb
   Thought you'd be looking for the next in line to love
       Dm         Dm7/C            Bb
Then ignore, put ou---t, and put away
    Am       Dm      Bb       C   C#dim     Dm     F7/Eb
And so you'd soon be leaving me, alone like I'm supposed to be
  Dm               Dm7/C     Bb
Tonight, tomorrow, and everyday
 
 
[Refrain 1]
A#sus2b5                             F
   There's nothing here that you'll miss
      Gm            F
I can guarantee you this
     Gm         Dm
Is a cloud of smoke
C7                    F
   Trying to occupy space
Gm             F
What a f**king joke
Gm             Am  Dm  Bb  C  C#dim  Dm  F7/Eb
What a f**king joke
Dm  Dm7/C  Bb
 
 
[Verse 2]
  Am     Dm    Bb      C  C#dim    Dm      F7/Eb
I waited for a bus to separate the both of us
             Dm       Dm7/C     Bb
And take me off, far away from you
         Am       Dm    Bb        C     C#dim  Dm        F7/Eb
Cause my feelings never change a bit, I always feel like sh*t
             Dm                Dm7/C   Bb
I don't know why, I guess that I just do
 
 
[Refrain 2]
A#sus2b5                        F
   You once talked to me about love
        Gm               F
And you painted pictures of
  Gm           Dm
A Never Never Land
C7                              F
   And I could've gone to that place
      Gm          F
But I didn't understand
  Bb          F
I didn't understand
  Gm          [Outro Riff]
I didn't understand
