Introduction
C G
Did you mean what you said when you told me you missed us
Am E
Without reservation, without plans for Christmas
F C
First part was right, the rest wasn't true
F G
The same goes for me and the same goes for you
C G
Packed my things for the month but it's not necessary
Am E
I told you I'd stay but it's just temporary
F C
Like swastika girls who fell back on their looks
F G
We relied on the tricks and the recycled hooks
C G
Did you want a response or just someone to edit?
Am E
It's not what you said, it's the way that you said it
F C
The longshoreman's daughter, when they spelled her name
F G C
Found three chords of brilliance and rode them to fame, all alone
verse 1
C
Pep up the formula tonight
Am
You're not obliged to do us favors
E F C G
Disenchanted hearts unite
F G
When you and I were candy ravers
C
Krushchev's Ekranoplan had failed
Am
Those weeks in August never seem fair
E F C G
Our love is left to sink or sail
F G
You cut the summer blonde from your hair
C
A little time is all I need
Am
A disco bloodbath for the ages
E F C G
The patience left to let it bleed
F G
And a quill to fill the pages
D F
Side streets set ablaze
Am G
And all roads lead to maybe
D F
Sometimes I think about those days
Am G
Sometimes I wish we'd kept the baby
D F
I don't know how things could have changed
G
At the latest
verse 2
C
Our days in Kansas wouldn't last
Am
I never learned the KU fight song
G
Exchanging poisons from the past
F G
I hadn't heard from you in so long
C
And if the moonlight kills the flame
Am
With all the moments we were meant to
G
You know I'll tell the world your name
F G
I couldn't let the world forget you
Outro
F G C Fm
Things were so much easier back in 1993
F G Cmaj7
I loved you for the first time on that day
