straight from paul himself from the former plan-it-x forums: 

All right, fine. I guess I'll spill the  beans.

A                                                 D 
   summer was purring like a kitten 
A                                                    D 
   the record needle starting skipping 
         E                                 D                  
i was squeaking through the screen door 
            A               Riff      A 
in your kitchen 

                       D                                       A 
so do you want to go downtown with me  
                             D 
maybe stop by the library? 
        E              D 
you rode by my side 
                          A             Riff    A 
on your dad's old ten speed 

                       D                                     A 
it felt like everything was finally perfect 
                                      D 
we rode past the empty stores and churches 
              E                       D 
but then i looked in your eyes 
                        A 
and they were anxious 
                       Riff 
and they were nervous 

         E                                =^.^= 
under all the rolling clouds 
         E                             D 
over all the fields that surround 
                     Intro Riff      A 
this tiny town 

                                               D          A 
later that night you started to cry 
                                         D 
ran into the bathroom and locked yourself inside 
                    E                              D 
i wanted to knock down the door 
                        A 
but instead i just 
                                     riff           A 
leaned against the other side 
                    D                                        A 
sometimes I feel like i still don't know you 
                              D 
after all the stupid stuff that we've been through 
                E 
how many horror movies have we sat through 
                  A 
how many sour patch kids 
                 R----I---------F-----F     A 
how many two liters of mountain dew 

               D                                   A 
i want to see you get through this 
                        D 
but it feels like nothing i say makes any difference 
            E                                           D                    A 
when i left your house that night i felt totally awful 
               Riff 
and selfish 

          E                         =^.^= 
under all the rolling clouds 
        E                               D 
over all the fields that surround 
                   A     riff 
this tiny town 

D                       A 
  maybe i did the wrong thing 
D                                       Ffir 
  maybe i should have stayed 
D                                         A                E 
maybe you were gonna feel better, maybe 
            
maybe nothing would have changed just

                                                D

                                  riff   A

                                  D 
heard you inside playing piano 
  E                 D                     A 
i   sat down on the front step 
                                      riff 
and listened through the window 

          E                        =^.^= 
under all the rolling clouds 
        E                                D 
over all the fields that surround 

trap us in this stupid town 

E                         =^.^=

        E                                D
