I sit two stories above the street 
          (G)               (C/G)       (G)  (G) 
It's awful quiet here since love fell asleep 
                    Am           G/B 
There's life down below me though 
C                  D                G   C/G  G  G 
  The kids are walking home from school

So long ago when we were taught 
             G            C/G               G   G 
That for whatever kind of puzzle you've got 
                          Am        G/B 
You just stick the right formula in 
    C           D     G   C/G  G  G 
A solution for every fool

I remember the time when I came so close to you 
        G             G        Am7            Am7 
Sent me skipping my class and running from school 
      C                C           D  
And I bought you that ring cause I never was cool 
                G             D            C 
What makes me think I could start clean slated

The hardest to learn was the least complicated

Oh I just sit up in the house and resist 
           G            C/G        G   G 
And not be seen until I cease to exist 
                          Am7     G/B 
A kind of conscientious objection 
C           D           G  C/G  G  G 
  A kind of dodging the draft
[Versetto]
            G                C/G             G   G 
The boy and girl are holding hands on the street 
                  G         C/G           G   G 
And I don't want to but I think you just wait 
                    Am7       G/B 
It's more than just eye-to-eye 
            C             D        G  Gsus4  G  G 
Learn the things I could never apply

And I remember the time when I came so close with you 
      G           G               Am7        Am7 
I let everything go it seemed the only truth 
      C                C                  D  
And I bought you that ring; it seemed the thing to do 
                G             D           C 
What makes me think I could start clean slated

Ohhhhh, I'm just a mirror of a mirror of myself

  All the things that I do 
        Em           Em             Bm         Bm 
And the next time I fall, I'm gonna have to recall 
         C          C/B  Am7   C/G   D   (D)-(Dsus4) (D)  
It isn't love, it's only something   new
