*** intro:
G

*** verse 1:
G
One night in iowa, he and I in a borrowed car
Em
Went driving in the summer, promises in every star
C(2)
Out in the distance I could hear some people laughing
Am
I felt my heart beat back a weekend's worth of sadness

*** verse 2:
There was a farmhouse that had long since been deserted g
We stopped and carved our hearts into the wooden surface em
We thought just for an instant we could see the future

I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind
but I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
to tear him away
when I tell him that I'm falling in love
why does he say
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
I try so hard not to get upset
because I know all the trouble I'll get
oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
and something to fear
and I try so hard to keep it inside
so no one can hear
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
He wants me
but only part of the time
He wants me
if he can keep me in line
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
hush hush, darling, she might overhear
oh, no-voices carry
he said shut up he said shut up
oh God can't you keep it down
voices carry
I wish he would let me talk

There was a time
You opened up every doorway
You didn't mind if everything
Wasn't your way
Don't pull away
That goes against what you told me
I look in your eyes
I realize what you've sold me

Is love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum

I think you've changed
But you insist that
That's not true
You look so strange, so distant
That you're hardly you
Now I can see
How you have been acting different
You say it's me
But I know


That it isn't
It's love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
And that's not enough
Love in a vacuum
You will be lonely
You'll be the only one who feels this way
You will be lonely
If you leave me alone
You will be lonely
You'll be the only one who feels this way
It's just not enough
And just wait
You will be lonely
Love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
And that's not enough
Love in a vacuum

I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind
but I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
to tear him away
when I tell him that I'm falling in love
why does he say
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
I try so hard not to get upset
because I know all the trouble I'll get
oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
and something to fear
and I try so hard to keep it inside
so no one can hear
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
He wants me
but only part of the time
He wants me
if he can keep me in line
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
hush hush, darling, she might overhear
oh, no-voices carry
he said shut up he said shut up
oh God can't you keep it down
voices carry
I wish he would let me talk

Here I go again
Making promises
If I tell you no
It still sounds like yes

You know the rest
Do I have to say it?

Am I in too deep?
Can I still confess?
When you trusted me
That was just a guess

I guess
You know the rest
You know the rest
Do I have to say it?

Well, I warned you once
But without success
And I just escape
With my heart
A mess

Know the rest
(It's not so easy)
You know the rest
(It's not that easy)
Do I have to say it?
You know the rest.

Same town as it's ever been
If there's changes somewhere
They've occurred from within
Streets pass and hold up to me
Every corner defined
By the places you'd be

But no one is watching you now
No one is watching you now
Like I did

Even the longest of days
You could make disappear
By the look on your face

We used to drive into town
And the eyes of the girls
Followed you all around

But no one is watching you now
I know no one is watching you now
Like I did

Forty-eight hours pass
And I'm longing to stay
Forty-eight hours pass
And watching you, watching you
Is ages away

Something has torn me apart
Oh but what do I care
About watching my heart
I know that sadness bleeds through
And my sadness for me
Is now sadness for you

'Cause no one is watching you now
I know no one is watching you now
No one is watching you now
Like I did

You should take a walk
But it's just the same wherever you go
You just wish the ghost was gone
So you make some calls
But it's talking while you're wanting to go
You're just ringing phones for fun
You can always make a new excuse to cry
But you don't have to use it on yourself

So why spend your sadness now
Save it up for me on Sunday
And why is lonely all you have
When love is what you'll find on Sunday

You might guard your heart
But it's awfully fun to have it broken
Or at least to leave a bruise
It becomes an art
Though the rules of which are rarely spoken
By the lucky ones who can choose
So your pain becomes another souvenir
And your souvenirs become your world

So why spend your sadness now
Save it up for me on Sunday
And why is lonely all you have
When love is what you'll find on Sunday

Why spend your sadness now
Save it up for me on Sunday
And why is lonely all you have
When love is what you'll find on Sunday

I'd like to take her home
But no one walks where she does
She goes into the cold
Wearing two unmatched gloves

Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs)
Maybe it's (something she works out alone)
And if I don't hold her up
Will she just fall down?

She says she feels fine
She says she feels right at home
But I can hear her cry
When I leave the room, oh

Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs)
Maybe it's (something she works out alone)
And if I don't hold her up
Will she just fall down?

Well, some essential part
Is missing that I just can't replace
I know that these things are a matter of grace

And on her birthday I'll
Get a watch to keep her time
And I'll stay up with her
When she forgets to wind it

Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs)
Maybe it's (something she works out alone)
She says that (she only needs a change of heart)
Too bad that (parts alone are not enough)
And if I don't hold her up
And if I don't hold her up
And if I don't hold her up
Will she just fall down?

It's what he wants but he won't say
He'd rather make-believe I want to say goodbye
It's down to her although I know
She never made him happy, now she makes him cry

He cannot work, he cannot think
Beyond the guilt he has for leaving her alone
I'm going down I cannot breathe
He doesn't think to leave me anything at all

David denies that he'll ever change his mind
(but he always changes)
David denies - but he's left his love behind
(left his love behind)

It's what he wants, I'm almost sure
And I can hardly stand him saying it's not so
And so I'll wait and so I'll hope
Somehow I can convince him not to let me go

David denies that he'll ever change his mind
(but he always changes)
David denies - but he's left his love behind
(left his love behind)

David denies that he'll ever change his mind
(but he always changes)
David denies - but he's left his love behind
(left his love behind)

David denies that he'll ever change his mind
(but he always changes)
David denies - but he's left his love behind
(left his love behind)

And so I'll wait and so I'll hope
Somehow I can convince him
And so I'll wait and so I'll hope
Somehow I can convince him not to let me go

Living on silence
Living by the book
You get it to a science
Of living on one good look
So put out all the fires
And blow away the smoke
I'm getting pretty tired
Of living on hope

So what about love, baby
What about making room for two
What about love, baby
What about you

Living on daydreams
Walking in my sleep
And nothing is as it seems
When you're in so deep
So put out all the fires
And blow away the smoke
Unless you're getting tired
Of living on hope

So what about love, baby
What about making room for two
What about love, baby
What about you

So what about love, baby
What about making room for two
What about love, baby
What about you

What about you
What about you
What about me

Note: For some reason this isn't in tune... It's *sort* of between
Ebm and Em, closer to Ebm... so....

*** Verse: 1
Em D/F# G C
We've known her ever since she was a kid
Em D C G
she was the kind of girl who repeats her mistakes
Em D/F# G C
Her parents never minded what she did
Em D C G
She was a fallen angel with dirt on her face

the two of us could never read her mind
Am G/B C D
the million ways she had of killing time

We'd get impatient with her now and then Em D/F# G C
oh, she'd smile and say, `now you're not being nice.' Em D C G
I guess her definition of a friend Em D/F# G C
was someone long on love, and short on advice Em D C G
We gave her money but the money's bad Am G/B C D
She took the dollars and just tore them in half Am G/B C D
We got so angry, we just had to laugh Am G/B C D

oh, you've got to be smart if you're fooling yourself Em D C G
We tried to love her, but our love unwound Am G/B C D

We talked about her when she wasn't around Am G/B C D
(so our talk was cheap)
and still we felt that we were letting her down Am G/B C D

'cause we just gave up Em D C
yeah we just gave up Em D C

||: Em D C G | C G C G :||

We talked on the second of December
And I told her that our chances were slender
And this conversation sounded so familiar
Like a welcome mat - a broken blender

We walked to a restuarant she'd been to
And I looked at her while she was looking into
Someone else's mirror - seeing if she's someone too
Giving me that deja vu

I look back
And I see that same old rag (?)
He's calling my name
He says you're gonna do it again

Time is all we need, she finally let out
But I see her drawing maps if she can get out
Now I wonder which of us will get the axe out
And do the final blow

I look back
And I see that same old rag (?)
He's calling my name
He says you're gonna do it again

Says you're gonna do it again

I saw you
I said this time it's different
I'll know better
But I can't keep from loving
I have heard that one before

I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind
but I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
to tear him away
when I tell him that I'm falling in love
why does he say
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
I try so hard not to get upset
because I know all the trouble I'll get
oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
and something to fear
and I try so hard to keep it inside
so no one can hear
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
He wants me
but only part of the time
He wants me
if he can keep me in line
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
hush hush, darling, she might overhear
oh, no-voices carry
he said shut up he said shut up
oh God can't you keep it down
voices carry
I wish he would let me talk

So far-
Or should I take it just a little farther
So good-
And if I think about it, it gets better
I could get used to this
I could get used to this
I could get used to
Feeling the way that I do
So long-
Or should I stay just a little longer
So much
For keeping it a secret
I could get used to this
I could get used to this
I could get used to
Feeling the way that I do
Oh, all the times I told myself


I could never fall in love
Love is just too difficult
Oh, too bad
I'm only talking to myself about it
So sad-
I guess I'm going to have to live without
I could get used to this
I could get used to this
I could get used to
Feeling the way that I do
I know, I know, I know how it goes
Baby, will I get the chance?
I could get used to
Feeling the way that I do.
