Introduction 
        C                           G 
Did you mean what you said when you told me you missed us 
Am                   E 
Without reservation, without plans for Christmas 
F                         C 
First part was right, the rest wasn't true 
    F                        G 
The same goes for me and the same goes for you 
          C                             G 
Packed my things for the month but it's not necessary 
  Am                         E 
I told you I'd stay but it's just temporary 
     F                       C 
Like swastika girls who fell back on their looks 
   F                            G 
We relied on the tricks and the recycled hooks 
        C                       G 
Did you want a response or just someone to edit? 
     Am                          E 
It's not what you said, it's the way that you said it 
    F                             C 
The longshoreman's daughter, when they spelled her name 
      F                              G                      C 
Found three chords of brilliance and rode them to fame, all alone 

verse 1 
                      C 
Pep up the formula tonight 
                            Am 
You're not obliged to do us favors 
                         E F C G 
Disenchanted hearts unite 
                               F G 
When you and I were candy ravers 
                           C 
Krushchev's Ekranoplan had failed 
                            Am 
Those weeks in August never seem fair 
                              E F C G 
Our love is left to sink or sail 
                                      F G 
You cut the summer blonde from your hair 
                       C 
A little time is all I need 
                          Am 
A disco bloodbath for the ages 
                             E F C G 
The patience left to let it bleed 
                          F G 
And a quill to fill the pages 

D                 F 
Side streets set ablaze 
        Am            G 
And all roads lead to maybe 
            D                 F 
Sometimes I think about those days 
            Am                 G 
Sometimes I wish we'd kept the baby 
             D                     F 
I don't know how things could have changed 
       G 
At the latest 


verse 2 
                            C 
Our days in Kansas wouldn't last 
                       Am 
I never learned the KU fight song 
                            G 
Exchanging poisons from the past 
                                F G 
I hadn't heard from you in so long 
                     C 
And if the moonlight kills the flame 
                              Am 
With all the moments we were meant to 
                             G 
You know I'll tell the world your name 
                                F   G 
I couldn't let the world forget you 

Outro 
F                   G              C  Fm 
Things were so much easier back in 1993 
F                   G                  Cmaj7 
I loved you for the first time on that day
