G (½) G/C (½) G

It’s awful quiet here since love fell asleep

Am(½) G/B(½)
There’s life down below me though

The kids are walking home from school

G (½) G/C (½) G
Some long ago when we were taught

G (½) G/C (½) G
That for whatever kind of puzzle you got

Am(½) G/B(½)
You just stick the right formula in

C (½) D (½) G (½) G/C (½) G
A solution for every fool

Chorus 1:

D C
I remember the time when I came so close to you

G Am7
Sent me skipping my class and running from school

C D (hold)
And I bought you that ring cause I never was cool

G (½) D (½) C
What makes me think I could start clean-slated

D (hold)
The hardest to learn was the least complicated

/ G – C/G - / G - - - / (x2)

G (½) G/C (½) G
So I just sit up in the house and resist

G (½) G/C (½) G
And not be seen until I cease to exist

A kind of conscientious objection

A kind of dodging the draft

The boy and girl are holding hands on the street

And I don’t want to but I think you just wait

Am(½) G/B(½)
It’s more than just eye to eye

C (½) D (½) G (½) G/C (½) G
Learn the things I could never apply

D C
I remember the time when I came so close with you

G Am7
I let everything go it seemed the only truth

C D (hold)
And I bought you that ring, it seemed the thing to do

What makes me think I could start clean-slated

D (hold)
The hardest to learn was the least complicated

G (½) D (½) C
So what makes me think I could start clean-slated

The hardest to learn was the least complicated

All the things that I do

And the next time I fall I’m gonna have to recall
