verse 1 

Em                         Gadd9 
If only you'd had known me before the accident 

Em                            Gadd9                                                    
For with that grand collision, came a grave consequence 

Em                    Gadd9 
Receptors overloaded, they burst and disconnect 

Em                             Gadd9 
'Til there was little feeling, please work with what is left 


BREAK: Em / Em / Asus / Asus* / Am / Am7 / Am / Am7 


verse 2 

Em                         Gadd9 
Oh I need not be flattered that you've never been here before 

Em                            Gadd9 
So there's no need to mention that you've no firsts anymore 

Em                                Gadd9 
But if you let me be your skyline, I'll let you be the wave 

Em                             Gadd9 
That reduces me to rubble that looked safe from far away 



C/G 
I don't know why I don't know why 

Em 
I return to the scenes of these crimes 

C/G 
Where the hedgerows slowly wind 

Em 
Through the ghosts of Beverly Drive 

C/G 
I don't know why I don't know why 

Em 
I don't know what I expect to find 

C/G 
Where all the news is second hand 

Am 
And everything just goes on as planned 


BREAK: Em / Em / Asus / Asus* / Am / Am7 / Am / Am7 


verse 3 

Em                     Gadd9 (hammer on D string 2nd fret) 
You wanna teach but not be taught 

Em              Gadd9 (hammer on D string 2nd fret) 
And I wanna sell but not be bought 

Em                         Gadd9 
So let us not be lonesome, let us not be lonesome 

Em                         Gadd9 
Lost in between our needs and wants 



C/G 
I don't know why I don't know why 

Em 
I return to the scenes of these crimes

Where the hedgerows slowly wind 

Em 
Through the ghosts of Beverly Drive

I don't know why I don't know why 

Em 
I don't know what I expect to find 

C/G 
Where all the news is second hand 

Am 
And everything just goes on as planned
