Intro C Am F Dm Verse I
         C
Well the room was Mediterranean

    Am
The meaning was twofold

       F
We got busted by your mother

              Dm
Though you're 29 years old

        C
And the pictures wrapped in cellophane

     Am
Like sandwiches or stamps

F
Burnholes in my pockets

           Dm
And in the inseams of my pants

         C                        
And your graduation date 

          Am
was in absentia* today

        F
And you wished you woulda stuck with him

           Dm
Though you told him not to stay

        C
And the redwoods and the oak trees

        Am
And the double yellow lines

         F
Although they're in perfect symmetry

     Dm
They keep imperfect time
Chorus (play 2x)
             C
I don't mean no, 

        Am
I don't maybe

                F
I'm in definitely 

                Dm
I'm in definitely 
Verse II
C                                     
Well your car was Japanese 

        Am
perhaps Hungarian and blue

          F                                
And it followed you down highway 1, 

      Dm
kept almost out of view

           C                             
And it symbolizes something 

             Am
although you don't know what it is

        F                            
Like loneliness or longing 

       Dm
for a future perfect kiss
Repeat chorus
             C
I don't mean no, 

        Am
I don't maybe

                F
I'm in definitely 

                Dm
I'm in definitely 
Bridge (solo plays over verse)
Am                                         C
The second hand's the first thing that you see when you wake up

       F                               Dm
And it goes by in slow motion, and you rub it for good luck

       Am                          C
Time is gonna tell your little secrets to me

           F                                    Dm
There's a frightened girl inside of you and I'm gonna set her free
