Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I had a [G]girl [Bm]I knew, [F#m]She gr[Em]ew,
became a woman [D]now[G]
I think that she [F#m]teaches [Bm]at[F#m]
[Em]one of the s[D]chools downt[G]own
We used to [F#m]roll t[Bm]he windows d[F#m]own
[Em]and play the music l[D]oud[G]
Smoking out [F#m]in her car,
[Em]lost in west Omaha[D][G]

[Verse 2]
And we'd get [F#m]drunk and kiss,
[Bm]our [F#m]bod ie[Em]s twist like shoelac[D]es
[G]And we never [F#m]came untied,
[Em]I guess you were[D] just my type[G]
You know that sum[Bm]mer never s[F#m]topped,
[Em]I still pretend [D]I'm ther[G]e
The [F#m]band's in the living room,
[Bm]the [Em]neighbors, they never car[D]ed[Bm]

[Verse 3]
So when I [Bm]sat behind the d[A]rum set,
[Em]your heartbeat's what I tried to play[D]
But [Em]with the kick and [Eb]snare so [A]care[D]less,
[A]not [C#dim]in time[C][Cm]
So you got ahead of me, and I guess I'm still drag[C]ging
[G]behind[D][F#m][Em][D][G][D][F#m][Em][D]
[Em][A][G]
I had a friend [F#]who c[Bm]hanged his n[Em]ame
but couldn't [D]change [G]himself

[Verse 4]
Never quite [F#]figured out,
[Em]how to deal with what life[D] had dealt[G]
He put [Bm]a needle [F#sus4]in his[Bm]
[Em]arm to calm his [D]handsome h[G]ell
Who would've [F#sus4]ima gined i[F#]t,[F#m]
[Em]could've worked out [D]so well?[G]
Now he's [F#sus4]a shape that moves
[F#]like [Em]echoes through my [D]empty [G]room

[Verse 5]
And there's a [F#m]voice that speaks,
[Esus4]like someone's[Em] right behind me[D][G]
I turned around [D]and found [F#m]ex act[Bm]ly[F#m]
[Esus4]what you would[Em] exp[D]ect[G]
The clothes I left [F#m]on my floor,
[Esus4]the pa pe[Em]rs piled on my [D]desk[G]
But where the [Bm]ink is w[F#m]et, the cause,
[Esus4]effects, what's[Em] meant by i[D]t?[G]

[Verse 6]
The story that is [F#m]incomplete,
[Em]the picture's left[D] unfinishe[Bm]d
So I am writing my [G]own [A]ending,
[Em]I let my pen bleed black or blue[D][Asus4][A][D][Em]
And [Bm]I will col[Bsus4] or in t[Bm]he me[Em]aning[A],
[Em]it will be gold and green and true[D]
[Em]And I'll learn to [Eb]love m[Ebaug]y new[Em]
[G]discovered [A]pro[C#dim]of[A]
[C][Cm][C]

[Verse 7]
I'll [Cm]be grateful for this day
I will be grateful for each day to [C]come
