[Intro]
C
C
I ve been staring at your shoes all night
G
thinking how did you walk through my life
Am
without me ever knowing that
F
we both hate all the same things
C
and now I m wondering where you will walk next
G
maybe to an apartment complex
Am
in New Jersey or Tennesee
F
or somewhere else I never ever ever thought you d be.
C G C
Or maybe you ll be right here,
G F C
or maybe you ll be right here,
G F C
or maybe you ll be right here
G F C
next to me watching bad TV
--Younger Games--
[Intro]
A, Dbm, D, F#m, G
[Verse]
A Dbm D
Resting on rooftops sneaking cigarettes from your mothers purse again
A Dbm D F#m G
13 held such awkward days
A Dbm D
Counting stars wishing one of them would fall on your house,
A Dbm D F#m G
maybe then you d have a story you re proud to tell
[Chorus]
A Dbm D Dbm D
Younger days, they seem so far away
A Dbm D Dbm D
But certain stories will bring me back to that familiar
A Dbm D Dbm D
pain Younger days, they seem miles and miles
A Dbm D Dbm Bm A
away But certain faces will bring me back to that awful rotten place
A, Dbm, D, F#m, G
A Dbm D
I remember your mother having sex in her bedroom with her new lover
A Dbm D F#m G
while we watched reruns of Pete and Pete
A Dbm D A
I left my innocence at your doorstep from that day on
Dbm D F#m G
the world was scary I didn t trust anyone or know anyone
[Chorus]
A Dbm D Dbm D
Younger days, they seem so far away
A Dbm D Dbm D
But certain stories will bring me back to that familiar
A Dbm D Dbm D
pain Younger days, they seem miles and miles
A Dbm D Dbm Bm A A
away But certain faces will bring me back to that ing rotten place
--Time and Place--
[Intro]
C, Am, G, F, C, Am, G
[Verse]
C Am G F C G
Great escapes have made up a third of my time on this place
Am G G F
and most of it s a blur and now I m falling out of love
G F C
with the idea that if you don t like it just run away
C, Am, G, F, C, Am, G
C Am G
The phrase time and place seems so dumb
C Am F
when my time and place changes every month
G F
And now I m feeling like my roots are showing
G F G
if I don t find dirt I ll just stop growing
[Chorus]
C G F
I ve never really cared about solution or remedy
C G F
I ll take what I get and hope it don t upset me
C G F
Now I m done feeling like this can t be wrong
C G F C G F
I m doing this to me but I hope that you come along
C G F
come along
C G F
come along
C G F
come along
(end on C)

[Intro]
B, F#, E
[Verse]
B Ebm E F# B
The lines are blurry they re hard to make out as a ?
Ebm E F# B

We talk to each other
[Chorus]

These hands they are mine but I m not quite sure what they re connected to

These hands they are mine but I m not quite sure what they re connected to
F# E
And these hands they are mine
[Bridge]
Abm F# E F#
Under what rock did you find the nerve
Abm F# E F#
to tell me what I think I just heard
B F# E B F# E
If I came from your lover s womb, what colour would you paint my room?
Abm F# E F#
Would you paint it pink or blue?
[Chorus]
B F# B E B
These hands they are mine but I m not quite sure what they re connected to
F# E
And these hands they are mine
B F# B E B
These hands they are mine but I m not quite sure what they re connected to

And these hands they are mine
