Simplify chords 

  			A              E 
A firm kick in the pants 
     B              D          E 
This last chance to get things right 
A                 E           B 
This was one time I closed an eye 
       D         E 
Looked away from you 

F#m 
Look out for yourself tonight 
D 
Sometimes I have to get things right 

A       E            B             F#m 
I never meant what I said to you 
A               E               B        D 
Give up all the things that you love to do 
A         E                  B      F#m 
I’d never guessed that you’d do me wrong 
A            E            B         D 
I’ll never except that dance and song 

A                  E 
A little time to adjust 
          B   D       E 
Would be just what we need 
A                            E                 B 
I’ve meant to tell you what I think that you think 
     D            E 
When I cross your mind 

F#m 
Forgone 
Stressed at the light 
D 
What’s wrong with being uptight 

A       E             B    F#m 
I never say what I intend to 
A           E           B      D 
But does it mean that much to you 
A         E            B           F#m 
I’d close call with a glitch in time 
A              E          B     D 
Are you really that happy to be mine 

E                    D 
No I’m not disguising 
E             D 
All that fighting 
E               D 
And dreams not coming true 

(lots of effects on E and base)  F#m C# E B (7ª) 

F#m               C# 
I will play some light from the sun 
E               B 
The world by my side 
F#m                 C#           E              B 
And I will see dawn as a forlorn maiden in the sky 
F#m                C#             E             B 
And I will play a song of thunder you may recognize 
F#m         C# 
You make a never 
E         B 
That’s forever 
F#m           C#       E B 
Knowing what you deny 

A                  E             B 
When I revisit the past it’s a blast 
      D           E 
I’ve just gotta move on 
A                     E          B 
I’ve just let down someone I relied on 
      D         E 
And I don’t see why 

F#m 
How'd we pretty up that speech 
D 
MC talking through me 

A           E              B        F#m 
I’ve never done what I set out to do 
A             E               B      D 
Don’t come to me ’cuz I’ll run from you 
A             E               B       D 
Left out of life would I really care 
A            E 
Not a whole lot 
       B                 D 
There’s nothing for me there 

E            D          E             D 
I’ll never forget the limits that we set 
E                    D 
Back when it was our moon 
E                      D         E                 D 
And I never made a pretense of living with good sense 
E                D 
It’s really not my strong suit.
