Chords

*********************************** Fmaj7* = x87555 Any split chords with an E on the bottom (most of the song) can be played with an open bottom string. If you have a band, the guitar should play the top chord with the normal voicing, and the bass player should play the bottom line. *********************************** [Intro] | C D | E5 N.C.

I've torn out all my telephones

Soon she will be walking through that door

[Bridge]
C             D     Em
  Left to my own device

I can always make believe

              A7/C#    D  Dbaug             C
That there's nothing wrong,   whoa, oh, oh, oh

C             D        Em
Still I will chose to live

That we shared for so long

Good or bad, right or wrong

While I set up my Christmas tree

    C/E            B/E           E      E/D
She never missed a cue or lost a beat

C            B
Everytime I lost the meter

There she was when I would need her

Greeting me with footsteps in the street
[Pre-chorus 3]

  She'd find the perfect moment
