See You When Youre 40

Dido


Tom: D

Bm
I've driven round in circles for three hours
it was bound to happen that I'd up at yours
I temporarily forgot that there's better days to come
I thought that I would give you just one more chance
      Em7                           D
cos I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for
      Em7                           D
but I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about

Bm
you think you are complicated, deep mystery to all
well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
all energy no meaning, with a lot of words
so paper thin that one real feeling could knock you down

         Em7                          D
and I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about
          Em7                      D
I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind

Bm
so see you when you're 40, lost and all alone
being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
not sad because you lost me
but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad

you think misery will make you stand out from the crowd
well if you had walked past me today 
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out

         Em7                       D
now I've seen, tonight, how could I waste my time
         Em7                D
and I'll be on my way and I won't be back
         Em7                           D
cos I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about
              Em7                         D
you're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back
