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
