 Note: This song is in the key of F, but is played in G with the guitars
 tuned down one whole step
 
 G C, G D
 
 	  G
 When you give it up for gone
                 C
 But you’re still digging in the mine
           G
 And you’re staring out the window
        D
 Saying everything will be just fine
 G
 In keeping with the whole affair
        C
 Every word seems out of line
     G
 No matter what angle you get
       D
 It’s polished ‘til it shines
 
 CHORUS:
             C   D             G   G/F# Em
 You take a guess at where I stand
 	  C	 D          G
 Pick a number from one to two
 	  C  D			 G  G/F# Em
 Take a look at the back of your hand
                 C     D	            G
 Just like you know it, you know me too
 
 
 When you say who the hell am I living with?
 What just went down
 Where did this come from
 Why are all my colors faded brown
 When did he change
 And what’s with the rage
 Who’s the dude with the extra roll
 What’s the verse, the line, the chapter, the page
 
 CHORUS
 Em		  D		   Em		 D
 You think you’re lost without any place left to go
 	      Em            D	   Em	     D
 Like you need one of those kisses long and slow
 Em			D
 At first glance, that’s not what it seemed
 		  Em		     D
 But there’s some things that I just know
 	    Em			   D
 Like you take two sugars with a splash of cream
 
 CHORUS
 
 Just like you know it, you know me too
 Just like you know it, you know me too
 
 G
