Intro

(1)
So we were on our way home
On the right bus
I just want to ask the driver
If it's not too much fuss
E
To drop me at the old lady's
And pick me up tomorrow
(1)
If you could, If you could
F#
It's all by design
G#m B E B
To keep me from losing my mind
B
Well I was on my way there
And it was just around the corner
I caught a funny stare
And started a fight with the owner
E
Well it's the whole nine yards
B (2) (2)
And I fold all my cards in your face, oh
E
'Cause I love what is real
And I loved you my dear
B (2)
Before you were replaced
Oh, you were replaced
F#
And it's all by design
G#m B E B
To keep me from losing my mind
B
So I saw you over there
And acted like I don't care
'Cause I've never seen something that made me stare
[SOLO- Sorry, I couldn't tab this if I tried, I'm not that good!]
E
Yeah, so then we run through your backyards
B (2)
And throw all my best cards in your face
Yeah in your face
E
Because I love what is real
And I loved you my dear before I was replaced
B (2)
I was replaced
F#
And it's all by design
G#m B E B (2)
To keep me from losing my mind
F#
It's all by design
G#m B E B
To keep us from losing our minds
B
We were on our way home
And we were on the right bus
I just want to tell the driver
Don't bother 'cause it's a bust
THE END!
Footnotes:
(1)- This is a chord called (in full) "F# add9 no5 ||R23" and I didn't think I could fit
all this in the space I had. It is played like this:
e|--------7
B|-------6-
G|-0-------
D|--------7
A|-0-------
E|X--------
(2) This is a sliding thing that just sounds cool, and I don't think the song sounds
quite complete without it. So here it is. It's not hard to tell where it is exactly in the song.
