Chords

As recorded by Everclear (From the 1993 Album WORLD OF NOISE) [Intro] E [Verse 1]
E
Turn away from the pain you don't want

E
Turning down to avoid them when they call

E
Strange words I heard a long, long time ago
[Verse 2]
E
I wish I could go back to a summertime

E
I knew more than twenty years ago

E
Lay between the sheets

E
Lie underneath the maple tree
[Chorus]
G#m C#m  A  E
Now I can't smile
[Verse 3]
E
Lying down in the grass with the wind around us

E
As we smile and talk

E
Listen to your grandma sing those country songs
[Verse 4]
E
She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years

E
We'd lay in the grass all summer

E
Just to watch the autumn come around
[Chorus]
G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile

G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile, yeah yeah yeah
[Bridge]
G#5   A5
Now I live alone

C5            E5
And you're so far away

G#5     A5             C5
Yeah, I call you every year

     E5
Just around the holidays

G#5     B5
I still see you in the night

C5          E5
Lying above me in the grass

G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile
[Guitar Solo] E5 [Verse 5]
E5
Turn away from the pain you don't want

E5
Turning down to avoid them when they call

E5
I can't believe this letter that says you died
[Verse 6]
E5
I think I'm gonna go back to the house

E5
In North Carolina and lay in the backyard

E5
Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me, bury me
[Chorus]
G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile

G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile

G#5     C#5 
I don't know what's happened to me

A5      E5
I don't know what's happened to me

G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile, hey
[Outro] E5
