Intro
(1)
(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
B
To drop me at the old lady's
And pick me up tomorrow
(1)
If you could, If you could
C#
It's all by design
D#m F# B F#
To keep me from losing my mind
F#
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
B
Well it's the whole nine yards
F# (2) (2)
And I fold all my cards in your face, oh
B
'Cause I love what is real
And I loved you my dear
F# (2)
Before you were replaced
Oh, you were replaced
C#
And it's all by design
D#m F# B F#
To keep me from losing my mind
F#
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!]
B
Yeah, so then we run through your backyards
F# (2)
And throw all my best cards in your face
Yeah in your face
B
Because I love what is real
And I loved you my dear before I was replaced
F# (2)
I was replaced
C#
And it's all by design
D#m F# B F# (2)
To keep me from losing my mind
C#
It's all by design
D#m F# B F#
To keep us from losing our minds
F#
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) "C# 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.
e|-----------------|-----------------|
