  			D* 
And I want you to know 
I took it with me 
That when things are thrown away 
Like they are daily 
Time passes in the constant state 

                     G 
So if that is how it is 
        Am                  G 
I don't wanna be a star 
      F 
But a stone on the shore 
  Dm7 
A door frame in the wall 
                  F   Em 
When everything's overgrown 

D* 
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs 
And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along 

       The outro is different, rather than our D*: 

             F      Em     Dm7 
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs 
(Em)  F           Em  Dm7 
And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along
