Brando

              A 
You told me to skip school 
                      D 
To go with you to the movies 
                  A 
You knew you were uncool 
                          D 
But you thought you could fool me 
          A             F#m 
They play oldies in the afternoon 
        E           D 
For the elderly and me and you 
A                F#m 
Fred and Ginger, black and white 
 E                       D 
I watch you watch "It's a Wonderful 

Life" 

( A  D  A  F#m  D ) 




                  A 
You called me "cerebral" 
                       D 
I didn't know what you meant 
          F#m               E 
But now I do, would it have killed you 
           D 
To call me pretty instead? 
         A            F#m 
I'm in a second story window 
           E               D 
And you're yelling at me, "Stella!" 
       A 
And I'm laughing 'cause you think 
      F#m 
You're Brando 
           E 
But you'll never come close 

 

A                     E 
All I need for you to admit 
                 F#m 
Is that you never knew me like you 
           D 
Thought you did 
         A 
You never knew me like you thought you 
E 
Did 
                     Bm   D 
Like you thought you did 

( A  F#m  D  Bm ) 
( A  F#m  D  Bm ) 



    A 
You say, "Here's lookin' at you, kid" 
          D 
Thinking I wouldn't understand the 

Reference 
    F#m 
You admit you think we're fated 
         E 
I'll be lucky if I'm your third wife 
A 
That's only something you would say in 

The car 
           D 
We've been breathing the same air for 

Too long 
       F#m 
If the snow wasn't coming down so hard 
       E 
I would open the door and walk home 
                       A 
It's only a couple miles 
             F#m                E 
What could go wrong if I hitch a ride 

With a guy in a pickup 
                D 
Who doesn't know left from right from 
E 
Wrong? 



A                        E 
All I need for you to admit 
                 F#m 
Is that you never knew me like you 
           D 
Thought you did 
          A 
You never knew me like you thought you 
 E 
Did 
                     Bm  D 
Like you thought you did 
A                        E 
All I need for you to admit 
                 F#m 
Is that you never knew me like you 
           D 
Thought you did 
          A 
You never knew me like you thought you 
 E 
Did 
                     Bm       D 
Like you thought you did
