Intro - E (play around using ur pinky to play it like elliott)

E                   G          A*            C
You waited a little while by a wetted sunset street,
      G                         /F# Em    A*             C
And a lady, looking tired, comes along to take away your dream.
     /D  G       A*  C     G   /F#/F Em
Cause he thought you might come by tonight;
    D           A       A*              C    A A*              C          /D
She thought so, too, to hear the way he talks, eyes trained to the cross.

G              /F# Em              A*           C
He lives up in his head, scared of every little door.
          G                        /F# Em        A*                C
Someone’s always breaking in accidentally, using nothing but their voice.
    /D G     A*  C  G   /F#/F Em          D        A
But he walks along, extremely alone, down your one way,
A*                C    A      A*           C        /C#  /D  /Eb
Across the great divide where no two paths collide.

E                   G                 A*             C
You won’t come by tonight, but if you did you’d only curse
        G                          /F# Em      A*                  C
All the things he’d have to say to perform the works that you’ve rehearsed.
     /D   G  A* C              G /F# /F  Em          D        A
Like your happy song that he’d interpret wrong—you’d make him cry.
A*                    C  A   A*             C   /C#  /D  /Eb
It’s how you’re gonna win, beginning at the end.
