Verse
D Bm F#m
It doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you
D Bm F#m
It doesn't matter if I live or die
D Bm F#m
It doesn't matter that your boyfriend left you
Em A G
And that summer only lasted one day
[Verse 2]
D Bm F#m
I'm in the mirror with the Rickenbacker twelve string
D Bm F#m
My good friend who can really understand
D Bm F#m
But everyone's got relationship problems
Em A G
I would surely go wrong with you, but why wouldn't I?
[Verse 3]
D Bm F#m
It doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you
D Bm F#m
It doesn't matter if I live or die
D Bm F#m
I'm in the mirror with my best friend twelve string
Em A G
The day that you will love me, will never arrive
[Chorus]
Bm A
We were almost it
Em G
We almost went somewhere
Bm A Em
Charm of the tear-down left behind
Bm A
Not to be who I am
Em G
Takes a lot of work this time
Bm A Em
To lock everything back up inside
[Verse 4]
D Bm F#m
Doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you
D Bm F#m
Doesn't matter if I live or die
D Bm F#m
I'm in the mirror with my best friend's twelve string
Em
Trying to worship sixties California
A G
In our not so contemporary ways
[Verse 5]
D Bm F#m
Everybody's got their heart in a wheelchair
D Bm F#m
And now I finally come up for air
D Bm F#m
The lazy eye of the sun comes up slowly
Em A G
And a million candle-lit cities disappear
[Verse 6]
D Bm F#m
Doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you
D Bm F#m
It doesn't matter if I live or die
D Bm F#m
Doesn't matter that your boyfriend left you
Aaaahh, Aaaah
Em A G D
But it doesn't matter that I love your smile
