Chords

Play the variation pattern when playing the A chord. While strumming the A chord, move the finger on the b string down to the third fret a few times to get that funky sound Jeff does. I've marked it as A*. [Intro] E B E B A* A* x2 [Verse 1]
       E               B
Well I had a dream one night

   E               B
The lights had all gone out

       A
And I felt the tired hands

        A*
Wrapped around my body

    E              B
The fireworks took shape

        E                B
And they flew across the sky

       A
And I must apologize

     A*                      E
For finding my own way out
(E) B E
    B              A*            A*
Na na na na na na na na na
E B E B A* A* [Verse 2]
           E                 B
Well these days they seem to change

    E           B
And nothing coincides

        A
All the memories get lost

     A*
They toss and turn inside my mind

     E         B
Don't worry anymore

   E             B
I think that i'm okay

   A
I just need some time to rest my mind

     A*
And let the poor ones slip away
[Chorus]
 G                               A        A*
I know someday i'll put it all behind me

   G                                  A       A
I know these things are slowly coming true

                   G
And I suppose you're right

                  A                A
You never really knew me

           G
But after all

                A
I'm only human too

    A        E
So here I go
(E) B E B A* A* x2 [Verse 3]
         E           B
Well the situation remains the same

     E               B
It's just the people that have changed

A                A*
Like they often do

         E              B
And your lovers and forgotten friends

      E                    B
Are waiting for your fall again

     A                   A*
To pick up the pieces of you

     E           B
So open up your eyes and smile

    E                 B
We'll have a cup and talk awhile

     A               A*
Of what it is to be alive

   E            B
No furniture or tv sets

      E           B
No small talk or cigarettes

     A                         A*
Just shelter from the wind outside
[Chorus]
 G                               A        A*
I know someday i'll put it all behind me

   G                                  A       A
I know your eyes are slowly coming true

                   G
And I suppose you're right

                  A                A
You never really knew me

           G
But after all

                A
I'm only human too

    A       E
So here I go
(E) B E
       B                     A*          A*

E B E
      B                     A*         A*
Na na na na na na na na na na na
[Verse 4]
        E               B
Well I had a dream one night

    E                   B
My friends had gathered round

        A
And we climbed our ladders to the sky

    A*
And never dreamt of coming down

   E          B
I never will forget

     E               B
The promise that we made

        A
It will stay with me for all my life

     A*
And i'll carry it into my grave
[Chorus]
 G                               A        A*
I know my mind could put it all behind me

   G                                  A       A
I know it's time I finally let it go

A                  G
And I suppose youre right

                  A                A
You never really knew me

              G
But I hope someday

                            A       A
Well I hope someday you'll know

      B                 A*
