Intro: Fade in w/ E-Bow on A string 2nd fret


C#m               A            B          E5
how the hell’d we wind up like this,  why weren’t we able

C#m        A             B                   E5
to see the signs that we missed,  and try to turn the tables

C#m          A             B             E5
i wish you’d unclench your fist,   and unpack your suitcase

C#5                 A           B            E5
lately there’s been too much of this,  don’t think it’s too late

Pre Chorus: pm, then release

F#5                      B5
nothin’s wrong   just as long  as you know that someday i will

Chorus:

A    E5        B5                    F#5
some day  some how   gonna make it alright but not right now

A             B5           C#m                B5
i know you’re wonderin’ when (you’re the only one that knows that)

A    E5        B5                    F#5
some day  some how   gonna make it alright but not right now

A             B5           C#m                
i know you’re wonderin’ when 


2nd Verse:

       C#m                   A       B              E5
well i hoped that since were here anyway,  we could end up sayin

C#m                 A         B                 E5
things we’ve always needed to say,  so we could end up stayin

C#m             A               B                  E5
now the story’s played out like this,  just like a paperback novel

C#5               A           B                   E5
let’s re-write an ending that fits,  instead of a hollywood horror
