	  		Intro Bm  F#m  E  Bm  Bm6 

Bm 
Broken glass and cigarettes 
A 
Writin' on the wall 
       E 
It was a bargain for the summer 
   B 
And I thought I had it all 
      Bm 
I was the one who gave you everything 
  A 
The one who took the fall 
       E 
You were the one who would do anything 
  B 
The one who can't recall 
     Bm 
Where she was while she was sleepin' 
   A 
In another women's bed 
     E 
Or the doctor's or the lawyer's 
     B 
Or the stranger that she met 
        Bm 
If there's nothing I can gain from this 
  A 
Or anything at all 
         E 
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me 
   E 
When I thought I'd heard it all 


      E         F7M(11+) 
It was a long time for you 
   G6   E        F7M(11+) 
It was a long time for me 
     G6   E         F7M(11+) 
It'd be a long time for anyone but 
E     F7M(11+)        G6 
Looks like it's meant to be 


Bm 
Social class and registers 
A 
Cocaine in the hall 
E 
All the way from California 
B 
On the way to your next call 
Bm 
To those non-negotiations 
A 
To simulate a cause 
E 
For the betterment of evils 
B 
And your ways around the laws 
Bm 
That keep you up and sitting pretty 
A 
On a pedestal or bed 
E 
And now you're sleeping like an angel 
B 
Never mind who you gave head 
Bm 
If there's somethin' I can make of this 
A 
Or anything at all 
E 
It'd be the devil hates a loser 
B 
And you thought you had it all 


      E         F7M(11+) 
It was a long time for you 
   G6   E        F7M(11+) 
It was a long time for me 
     G6   E         F7M(11+) 
It'd be a long time for anyone but 
E     F7M(11+)        G6 
Looks like it's meant to be 


D          C#m 
If I could go back in time 
     E7 
To the place in my soul 

There all alone 
G           F# 
Lonely teardrops, ooh 
        Bm 
Are callin' you 
  A                 G 
But I don't want to know it now 
        F#m 
Cause knowin' you 
              E    E7 
It won't change a damn thing 
          Bm     Bm6 
But there was a time 

Solo Bm  A  E  Bm   
     Bm  A  E  Bm 
     Bm  F#m  E  E7 
     Bm  A  E  E7 

Bm 
Yeah there was a time 
A 
Didn't wanna know it all 
E 
Didn't wanna know it all 
 E7  
And I don't wanna know it now (Repeat once more) 

( Bm  A  E  E7 ) 

Bm       A        E 
I would do anything for you 
There was a time 
Bm       A        E 
I would do anything for you 
Bm       A        E 
I would do anything for you 

There was a time
