 Capo 3
 
 G C D (x2)
 
  G                                  C        
 Was a summer's day when you first walked away
         D                        G 
 At the time I wasn't feeling so bad
 
 Gave me sh*t while I looked away
             C             D                    G 
 Just like every big conversation that we ever had
                                            C                D  
 And you know how a thing like that can be such a terrible shame
                          G  
 Cause it makes you feel mean
       C            D     G  C D 
 Your eyes were so very green
 
            Em        Bm  
 And it's foolish to think
            C                D   
 You would ever consider it again
                      Em  
 After two or three drinks
                        Bm       
 All the books on the subject say
        C                   D                 Em    
 'Just move along, give yourself some time to think'
                       Bm   
 They say follow your heart,
                C          D          Em D    C   
 What if your heart never knew where to go or why?
 
                     G  
 You'd have sang goodbye
      C                 D              G 
 To people whose every word is just a lie
          C              D               G 
 Like a guilty man who knows he's gonna fry
         C                        D                  G C D 
 I was hoping to catch that old dreamy look in your eye
 
            Em        Bm       C  
 And it's foolish to need any sign
                     D                       Em 
 You'd consider me again after smoking some weed
                          Bm            
 All our friends are so bored of hearing
         C                  D                 Em 
 Every tired and desperate word we'd ever plead
                        Bm  
 They say follow your heart,
                C          D           Em D     C  
 What if your heart never knew where to go, or why?
 
                    G   
 You'd have sang goodbye
      C                 D            G   
 To people whose every word is just a lie
            C                          D  
 And you wonder just a little if your soul
                  G   
 Isn't starting to die
       C                  D               G 
 You spend every waking moment wondering why
  C       D       G 
 Why why why why why
  C       D       C D 
 Why why why why why
 
 C D G(x1)
 
  G                                    C   
 Was a winter's day when I finally realized
            D                    G 
 I was the one always walking away
                                         C   
 That you tried so many times and I'd ignored
         D                   G 
 Every word that you had to say
 
 And you know how a thing like that
         C                D  
 Can be such a terrible shame
                        G   
 Cause it makes you feel old
            C            D   G   C D 
 And your words were so very cold
 
            Em         Bm 
 And it's foolish to think
          C                     D               Em 
 You can bury it all in some endless drive to drink
                   Bm                     C  
 Every person you meet can tell you're a ship
                     D                           Em 
 Taking water in a storm and you're starting to sink
 
                     Bm  
 If you follow your heart
               C        D               Em D 
 Then you're bound to become something else
           C        D           Em D C 
 You take one hard look at yourself
               G                C      
 And you'll say I'm gonna do everything
               D                  G    
 You said I couldn't do when I was high
            C                  D              G  
 And I'll write your name in stars across the sky
            C                D                     G   
 And we'll meet somewhere someday and you'll ask me why
  C       D       G 
 Why why why why why
  C       D       G 
 Why why why why why
  C       D       G 
 Why why why why why
