OR (depending on your taste)
E E/C# E E/C#
E C#m
It's not my fault, it wasn't up to you
E C#m
Christmas eve comes once a year and that will never do
A F#m
Your image started fading
E G#m Amaj7/F#
I closed my eyes to see*
A
Tell me do you close your eyes for me?
E C#m
E C#m
Now your door seems half a world away
E C#m
The price of gasoline is more than I can pay
A F#m E G#m Amaj7/F#
Plus I don't have a car I can call my very own
A
I guess I'll spend another night alone
E C#m E C#m
A B C#m7
If I could say I’m sorry
A B C#m7
Who would I say it to?
A B A B E C#m
Besides apologies mean less than dirt to folks like me and you
E C#m
You know it's true
E D E
Should I say too bad
D E
Or so what?
D C#m
What's appropriate?
C#m A
Should I show it?
C#m A C#m A C#m E
Call you on the phone and let you know it?
N.C.
Back at my house there's nothing on TV
The bathroom mirror casts confusing looks from me to me
A F#m
I watched you from a distance
E G#m Amaj7/F#
For too briefly held you close
A
I guess that's just the way this story goes
E C#m E C#m A B C#m7
Notes:
I play the Amaj7/F# like this:
e|-3-
B|-5-
G|-4-
D|-5-
A|-0-
E|-x-
This chord is my best guess of what to play here, but if that's too tricky,
a Amaj7 or even an F#m would sound fine too :)
