Intro: F   C 

             F 
What does it mean 
              C    Bb 
when you stay silent? 
             F          Bb          F 
Is that just shyness or have you implied  
              Bb         F C 
that it's the end of our life 

C                              
Together baby you were meant for me 
    Bbm 
but maybe I act differently  
             Bb           
from how you expected me to be 

F        C        F           C 
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo 

             F 
What does it mean 
         C  Bb 
when you cry? 
           F             Bb         F 
When I describe how your root beer eyes 
             Bm          F                       C 
Stab me with little tiny knives of longing in my mind.  
   F                    C        Bb 
It seems there could be two explanations 
               F              Bb           F         
They could be joyful tears or they could employ your fears 
   Bb            F                               C 
Of facing the shame of saying you?d rather he be here 
           
Together baby you were meant for me 
     Bbm 
But maybe I act differently  
              Bb 
from how you expected me to be 

F        C        F           C 
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo

             F 
What does it mean 
               C        Bb 
When you say, ?Ok, good-bye?? 
        F        Bb          F 
After I say, ?I love you? 1 million times 
Bb       F               Bb          F          C 
Into the phone line when each little chat has died 

             F 
Why does it feel  
                C  Bb        
like you're got eyes for arms? 
              F 
Oh yeah, it's cool girl 
         Bb    F    
Yeah I'm busy too girl 
       Bb         F 
We?ll touch base soon sure 
      Bb                  F          C 
But I really got a ton of work to do 

            C 
Alone, well baby you were meant for me 
    Bbm 
But maybe I act differently  
      Bb 
from how you expected me to be 
    C 
And baby we were meant to be 
    Bbm 
But maybe we are not the same as 
  Bb 
How you envisioned we would be 
     C 
And baby you mean to everything to me 
     Bbm 
But I have seen the reasons now 
   Bb 
And I think you should probably 

F        C        F           C 
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
