Passenger – Words (Guitar)

C                                      
Well the first time that I saw her,

F                             C
Standing in the middle of the road.

F                 C
Eyes as bright as Christmas lights,

C                      G
Wearing someone else’s clothes.

C                 
I did my best to ignore her,

    F                       C
But Ignoring my best pretty soon.

F                      C
We spent the night all tangled tight,

G                    F             C       F  C
In an armchair in my friends front room.

       F                 G                       C       F  C
I said darling you know, darling you know I cant stay.

            Bb                   F                  C       F  C
Cause I’ve given my heart and my word to a girl far away.

C                  Em                     F                    Fm
I felt weak as she kissed my cheek, and aside when I heard her say.

Am                 G            F          G           C
Never knew I could get my heart broken, in less than a day.

C                                 
Oh and the next time that I saw her,

F                        C
Must have been a year or more.

F                 C
Face stained with mascara,

C                    G
Shivering outside my door.

C                 
I did my best to assure her,

    F                       C
But assurance isn't easy to give.

F                         C
You've never been sure of anything much,

G                   F          C        F  C
And get less so the longer you live.

         F                 G                        C       F  C
She said darling you know, darling you know I can’t stay.

           Bb                    F                 C       F  C
Cause I've given my heart and my word to a boy far away.

C                Em                  F                         Fm
I spoke soft and pretended to cough, like I didn't care either way.

Am                 G            F         G       C       F  C
Never knew I could get my heart broken in so many ways.

C                                  
And the last time that I saw her,

F                       C
Standing in the pouring rain.

F             C
Hair a little shorter,

C                              G
But everything else looked the same.

C                        
I could'a told her that I adored her,

F                                 C 
She coulda said she felt the same way.

F                        C                G                F        Am        F
But we just smiled cause sometimes words, aren’t the right words to say.

                     C                G                F                  C
We just smiled cause sometimes words, aren’t the right words to say.
