Intro
G Em C Am
Verse I
G Well the room was Mediterranean Em The meaning was twofold C We got busted by your mother Am Though you're 29 years old G And the pictures wrapped in cellophane Em Like sandwiches or stamps C Burnholes in my pockets Am And in the inseams of my pants G And your graduation date Em was in absentia* today C And you wished you woulda stuck with him Am Though you told him not to stay G And the redwoods and the oak trees Em And the double yellow lines C Although they're in perfect symmetry Am They keep imperfect time
Chorus (play 2x)
G I don't mean no, Em I don't maybe C I'm in definitely Am I'm in definitely
Verse II
G Well your car was Japanese Em perhaps Hungarian and blue C And it followed you down highway 1, Am kept almost out of view G And it symbolizes something Em although you don't know what it is C Like loneliness or longing Am for a future perfect kiss
Repeat chorus
G I don't mean no, Em I don't maybe C I'm in definitely Am I'm in definitely
Bridge
(solo plays over verse)
Em G The second hand's the first thing that you see when you wake up C Am And it goes by in slow motion, and you rub it for good luck Em G Time is gonna tell your little secrets to me C Am There's a frightened girl inside of you and I'm gonna set her free
* "in absentia" is a latin phrase that means 'in absence' or 'missing'.
