# To get the descending chord effect, play the F F chord
# as if you were playing an F F chord and a C C chord at
# the same time.
# Only play this higher F F during the verses, NOT the chorus.

F F Em Em C C (x3)
C C F F Em Em C C
I wonder how that bike trip's going
C C F F Em Em C C
I wonder if the government knows he's hiding
C C F F Em Em C C
It'd probably take a few more months
C C F F Em Em C C
Florida's a long way from Rhode Island

F F Em Em C C
I watch her rest her hands inside her lap
C C F F Em Em C C
I try to focus hard cause her eyes don't make the frame
F F Em Em C C
I try to work up the courage
C C F F Em Em C C
to kiss the bottom half of her face
Em Em
And Mora cut her hair in Baltimore right before I left

F F Em Em C C (x2)

Em Em
I watch her sitting by herself, talking to herself,
Breathing calmly, then try to catch her breath.

F F Em Em C C (x2)

F F F F F F F F F F F F G G G G G G G G

F F G G C C
Casanova just can't turn the charm on

Or find any of the right vibrations
F F G G C C
I know these women if he don't wanna do it
CMadd9 CMadd9
Then they are probably just gonna make him
F F G G
You can never tell when they're fucking around

F F Em Em C C
Everything you're feeling is common
C C F F Em Em C C
Even though you never felt so alone
C C F F Em Em C C
I could probably catch a ride to your house
C C F F Em Em C C
And borrow a bike to get back home

F F Em Em C C
She says you gotta promise not to break
C C F F Em Em C C
No matter how far you are bent
C C F F Em Em C C
She says I gotta shift my position
C C F F Em Em C C
and try to get comfortable again
Em Em
We both choose the same tone,
mine was an alarm clock ringing from a cell phone

F F Em Em C C (x2)

Em Em
Mouth the words to me so we can keep things quiet
And I'll still know exactly what you mean.

F F Em Em C C (x2)

F F F F F F F F F F F F G G G G G G G G

F F G G C C
And it is probably just my friends fucking around.
F F G G C C
Yeah, it is probably just my friends fucking around.
They never cut me any slack.
F F G G
It's just my friends fucking around.

F F G G C C
And it is probably just my friends fucking around.
F F G G C C
Yeah, it is probably just my friends fucking around.
CMadd9 CMadd9
They never cut me any slack.
F F G G C C
It's just my friends fucking around.
