Capo 3
G C D (x2)
W[G]as a summer's day when you first wa[C]lked away
At the t[D]ime I wasn't feeling so b[G]ad
Gave me sht while I looked away
Just like ev[C]ery big conver[D]sation that we ever h[G]ad
And you know how a thing like that can be s[C]uch a terrible sh[D]ame
Cause it makes you feel m[G]ean
Your e[C]yes were so v[D]ery gr[G]een[C][D]
And it's fo[Em]olish to t[Bm]hink
You would e[C]ver consider it a[D]gain
After two or three dr[Em]inks
All the books on the su[Bm]bject say
'Just m[C]ove along, give your[D]self some time to [Em]think'
They say follow your h[Bm]eart,
What if your he[C]art never k[D]new where t[Em]o g[D]o or [C]why?
You'd have sang good[G]bye
To pe[C]ople whose every w[D]ord is just a l[G]ie
Like a gu[C]ilty man who kn[D]ows he's gonna f[G]ry
I was ho[C]ping to catch that old dr[D]eamy look in your e[G]ye[C][D]
And it's fo[Em]olish to n[Bm]eed any s[C]ign
You'd consider me ag[D]ain after smoking some w[Em]eed
All our friends are so bo[Bm]red of hearing
Every ti[C]red and desperate w[D]ord we'd ever plea[Em]d
They say follow your he[Bm]art,
What if your he[C]art never k[D]new where to[Em] go[D], or w[C]hy?
You'd have sang goo[G]dbye
To pe[C]ople whose every w[D]ord is just a[G] lie
And you won[C]der just a little if your s[D]oul
Isn't starting to[G] die
You sp[C]end every waking mo[D]ment wondering w[G]hy
W[C]hy why w[D]hy why w[G]hy
W[C]hy why w[D]hy why w[C]hy[D]
C D G(x1)
W[G]as a winter's day when I finally real[C]ized
I was the o[D]ne always walking awa[G]y
That you tried so many times and I'd ign[C]ored
Every wo[D]rd that you had to s[G]ay
And you know how a thing like that
Can be s[C]uch a terrible sh[D]ame
Cause it makes you feel[G] old
And your wo[C]rds were so v[D]ery [G]cold[C][D]
And it's fo[Em]olish to th[Bm]ink
You can b[C]ury it all in some end[D]less drive to dr[Em]ink
Every person you m[Bm]eet can tell you're a s[C]hip
Taking water in a st[D]orm and you're starting to s[Em]ink
If you follow your h[Bm]eart
Then you're bo[C]und to be[D]come something e[Em]lse[D]
You take o[C]ne hard l[D]ook at yours[Em]elf[D][C]
And you'll say[G] I'm gonna do eve[C]rything
You said I cou[D]ldn't do when I was[G] high
And I'll wr[C]ite your name in st[D]ars across the [G]sky
And we'll m[C]eet somewhere som[D]eday and you'll ask me[G] why
W[C]hy why w[D]hy why w[G]hy
W[C]hy why w[D]hy why w[G]hy
W[C]hy why w[D]hy why w[G]hy
