F C
Did you mean what you said when you told me you missed us
D A
Without reservation, without plans for Christmas
A# F
First part was right, the rest wasn't true
A# C
The same goes for me and the same goes for you
F C
Packed my things for the month but it's not necessary
D A
I told you I'd stay but it's just temporary
A# F
Like Swastika Girls who fell back on their looks
A# C
We relied on the tricks and the recycled hooks
F C
Did you want a response or just someone to edit?
D A
It's not what you said, it's the way that you said it
A# F
The longshoreman's daughter, when they spelled her name
A# C
Found three chords of brilliance and rode them to fame all alone
(break) F
Pep up the formula tonight
D
You're not obliged to do us favors
C
Disenchanted hearts unite
Bb C
When you and I were candy ravers
(break) F
Krushchev's Ekranoplan had failed
D
Those weeks in August never seem fair
C
Our love is left to sink or sail
Bb C
You cut the summer blonde from your hair
(break) F
A little time is all I need
D
A disco bloodbath for the ages
C
The patience left to let it bleed
Bb C
And a quill to fill the pages
G5 Bb5
Side streets set ablaze
D5 C5
And all roads lead to maybe
G5 Bb5
Sometimes I think about those days
D5 C5
Sometimes I wish we'd kept the baby
G5 Bb5
I don't know how things could have changed
C5
At the latest
(break) F
Our days in Kansas wouldn't last
D
I never learned the KU fight song
C
Exchanging poisons from the past
Bb C
I hadn't heard from you in so long
(break) F
And if the moonlight kills the flame
D
With all the moments we were meant to
C
You know I'll tell the world your name
Bb C
I couldn't let the world forget you
D C F Bb
Things were so much easier back in 1993
D C F
I loved you for the first time on that day
