Tabbed by ; James Frampton Intro: The intro is tabbed very well by someone else on this page. Verse:

 F     Dm     Dm
Was an honest man

G                     G
Asked me for the phone

 G                 G
Tried to take control

      F
Oh I don't see it that way

   Dm
I don't see it that way

We shared some ideas All obsessed with fame Says we're all the same I don't see it that way I don't see it that way Pre-CHORUS:

 F         Dm
Raised in Carolina

 Em          G
I'm not like that

F           Dm
Tryin' to remind her

Em          G
When we go back

CHORUS:

  F            
I missed the last bus

   F
I'll take the next train

  Em
I try, but you see

  Dm
It's hard to explain

  F
I said the right things

  F 
But act the wrong way

  Em
I like it right here 

   Dm
But I cannot stay

   F
I watched the TV

   F 
Forget what I'm told

   Em
Well I am too young 

   Dm
And they are too old

   F
The joke is on you

   F
This place is a zoo

   Em
You're right, it's true

Break. (like the intro kinda) Verse: He said he can't decide I shake my head to say Everythings just great Oh I just can't remember I just can't remember Pre-CHORUS: Raised in Carolina (she says) I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back CHORUS: I say the right things But act the wrong way I like it right here But I cannot stay I watched the TV Forget what I'm told I am too young And they are too old I'll make it you see I'm ever so pleased Pretend to be nice So I can be mean I missed the last bus I'll take the next train I try, but you see It's hard to explain I'm pretty sure about these chords, these guys are sometimes hard to figure out because of all the layering they do. Good Song though and good luck -Dan
