[Intro]

C D A G
[Verse 1]
C D A G
And when I asked for a
C D A G
separate room It was
C D A G
late at night, and we'd been
C D A G
driving since noon But
C D A G
if I'd known how that would
C D A G
sound to you I would have
C D A G
stayed in your bed for the
C D A G
rest of my life Just to prove I was right That it's
C D A G
harder to be friends than lovers And you
C D A G
shouldn't try to mix the two 'Cause if you
C D A G
do it and you're still unhappy Then you
C D A G
know that the problem is you
[Verse 2]
C D A G
And it's true that I stole your lighter And it's
C D A G
also true that I lost the map But when you
C D A G
said that I wasn't worth talking to, I
C D A G
had to take your word on that. But
C D A G
if you'd known how that would
C D A G
sound to me You would have
C D A G
taken it back
[Chorus]
F C G Gb/G
boxed it up and buried it in the ground
F C G Gb/G
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
F C G Gb/G
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
F C G Gb/G
Burned it up and thrown it away.
[Verse 3]
C D A G
You put in my hands a loaded gun
C D A G
And then told me not to fire it
C D A G
When you did the things you said were up to
C D A G
me And then accused me of trying to fuck it up
[Chorus]
F C G Gb/G
But you've never been a waste of my time
F C G Gb/G
It's never been a drag
F C G Gb/G
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
F C G Gb/G
And maybe you'll be alright
[Verse 4]
C D A G
And the license said you had to stick around
C D A G
until I was dead
C D A G
But if you're tired of looking at my face,
C D A G
I guess I already am
[Chorus]
F C G Gb/G
But you've never been a waste of my time
F C G Gb/G
It's never been a drag
F C G Gb/G
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
F C G Gb/G
And maybe you'll be alright

version 2
the main theme is just variations of these crds (i think). the B is the
one that sounds a little funny. like usual, liz only plays 2 or 3 notes
are
for each crd.
i might be some notes in between the chords
C# Ab B Ab
e----------------------------4--|
B---------6------------------4--|
G-----------6----5---2-----5----| or some variation thereof. i can't
D-------6--------6---2-----6----| remember if the third crd is a B or a C.
A-------4----------------6------| it might be played on the 3rd fret instead
E------------------------4------| of the 2nd.
C# = A shape barre crd at 4th fret
Ab = E shape barre crd at 4th fret
B = A shape barre crd at 2nd fret (maybe 3rd?)
this theme is played thru all the verses.
for the chorus part...(i don't remember if the 1st crd is F# or F#m)
F#(m?) C# G Ab G Ab
boxed it up and buried it in the ground... (3x)
e--------------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------6--------------------------------|
D-------4--strum-a------6--6-----------------------------|
A-------4--couple----------4--0---5/6--6--66--5/6--6--6--|
E-------2--times--------------0---3/4--4--44--3/4--4--4--|
* **
F#(m?) C# G Ab G Ab
burned it up and thrown it away...
* = slide up a fret
**= pick down then up really fast
and for the harmonica break at the end, the crds are just
F#(m?) Ab C# or some combination of crds used above.
And when I asked for a separate room
It was late at night and we'd been driving since noon
But if I'd known how that would sound to you
I would have stayed in your bed for the rest of my life
Just to prove I was right
That it's harder to be friends than lovers
And you shouldn't try to mix the two
'Cause if you do it and you're still unhappy
Then you know that the problem is you
And it's true that I stole your lighter
And it's also true that I lost the map
But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to
I had to take your word on that
But if you'd known how that would sound to me
You would have taken it back
And boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Burned it up and thrown it away
You put in my hands a loaded gun
And then told me not to fire it
When you did the things you said were up to me
And then accused me of trying to fuck it up
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright
And the license said you had to stick around until I was dead
But if you're tired of looking at my face, I guess I already am
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright

Lyrics
And when I asked for a separate room
It was late at night, and we'd been driving since noon
But if I'd known how that would sound to you
I would have stayed in your bed for the rest of my life
Just to prove I was right
That it's harder to be friends than lovers
And you shouldn't try to mix the two
'Cause if you do it and you're still unhappy
Then you know that the problem is you
And it's true that I stole your lighter
And it's also true that I lost the map
But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to
I had to take your word on that
But if you'd known how that would sound to me
You would have taken it back
And boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Burned it up and thrown it away
You put in my hands a loaded gun
And then told me not to fire it
When you did the things you said were up to me
And then accused me of trying to fuck it up
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright
And the license said you had to stick around until I was dead
But if you're tired of looking at my face, I guess I already am
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright
