Often Is A Word I Seldom Use
Capo:no capo
Tuning: Standard
Intro:
Asus4 E A
Asus4 E A
Asus4
I know that you're sad
Asus4
I know that you're lonely
E A
you lie awake 'till way past when
Asus4
I want you to know
that I'm leaving you only
E A
'cause I might not get the chance a-gain.
Chorus:
Asus4
I'm cold and I'm tired
and I can't stop coughing
E A
long enough to tell you all of the news
Asus4
I'd like to tell you
that I'll see you more often
E A
often is a word I seldom use
Asus4 E A
often is a word I seldom use.
A
Tell me, where did the weekend go?
A
Tell me, where did the weekend go?
A
Went like thunder, felt like snow.
A
Went like thunder, felt like snow.
You must think my life's a circus
watching me laughing
and slapping my thighs
how'd ya like to die
in the house of mirrors
with nobody around to close your eyes.
(Repeat Chorus)
Going down to the Greyhound station
going back home
and get what's mine
got me a date
with the ten o'clock special
gonna be there at a quarter to nine.
(Repeat Chorus)
