The Airborne Toxic Event – Whats In A Name (Guitar)

          C                                  F
There was nothing you could do but turn away

              C                                  F
They told the fathers to hide all the girls away

            Am              F                         C     F
It's just a name, a name, a name, a name, what's in a name?

             C                                       F
And you were sleeping by the time I found you there

               Am                      G        
I said “It's a shame we got to cut off all that hair…”

             C             F                 C    F
But it's all right, I just hope it's nothing bad

                          Am  F                              C    F
You can call me if you're sad,  I don't care what you father said

        C                                              F
We were running through the halls of the middle school

            C                                      F
Writing our names on the sides of the public pool

         Am                    F                         C     F
Like two ghosts in flight on a sleepless night, we were alive

        C                              F
And you told me you were scared of suicide

       Am                            G
On the night that your best friend's brother died

             C             F                 C    F
But it's all right, I just hope it's nothing bad

                          Am  F                              C    F
You can call me if you're sad,  I don't care what you father said

Am F  Am G
(Not sure about the bridge, doesn't sound great with just chords anyway)

          C                                               F
And I was lost in you dancing around in your living room

              C                               F
You said your mother's in the back on Valium

        Am                      F                 C    F
And she sleeps so hard that you wonder if she is alive

         C                                 F
And so I parked my bike outside your house

                   C                                          F
You said, “There's nothing you could do to make me come out”

             Am                   F                       C             F       
Because your daddy said I was the worst one yet, it was a lie, a lie, a lie, a lie

                C                               F
‘Cause I always loved the way you looked in the firing line

     Am                         G
Just dancing around in some old sweater of mine

             C             F                 C    F
But it's all right, I just hope it's nothing bad

                          Am  F                              C    F
You can call me if you're sad,  I don't care what you father said

              C     F                      C     F
This is not a game.   It would be a crying shame

                              Am   F                      C                      F
I mean, honestly, what's in a name?  Tell me, what's in a name, a name, a name...

           Am       F          Am       G
Oh we were so young,   we were so wrong
