Sixpence None The Richer


Tom: A

F#m     D      A          E 

[Verse 1]

       F#m       D      A 
So I'm waiting by a phone
         E       F#m
For the blessed ring
         D       A
Like a holy grail
         E       F#m
For a fisher king
         D        A
Time is ticking down
         E       F#m
Like a metronome
        D         A
Rhythm for my brain
        E       D
And it's ceaseless scares

        Bm                D              E
I never seem to play them to the beat I hear
            D              Bm
Though my heart beat is a beat
       E       F#m 
That beats so near


[Solo]
F#m     D      A          E 


[Verse 2]

      F#m       D      A
So we had a talk last night
         E       F#m           D         A
About the heavy blow that you dealt in fight
         E       F#m
Your back against the wall
         D       A
It was a puzzle piece
         E       F#m         D       A
Important to the whole that I may not find
         E             D
You placed within the hole
         Bm              D              E
I never seem to put them in the gaps I see
            D           Bm       E          A 
Like a puzzle where the pieces lost you and me

[Chorus]

       F#m            Bm
So I'm changing who I am
        E             A
Cause what I am's not good
       F#m            Bm
And I know you love me now
        E             A
But I don't see why you should
       F#m            Bm
And I don't see why you should
        E             A
No I don't see why you should

[Solo]

F#m     D      A          E 

[Verse 3]

      F#m     D      A          E          F#m
So I drift into the end like a moth to light
         D       A       E         F#m
Down the boulevard to a coffee shop
         D       A
In the land of song
        E         F#m
In the land of wait
         D       A       E         D
Beat is bearing down on this lonely town
         Bm                D               E
I never seem to write them down as good as him
            D           Bm       E          A
Like I somewhere lost the keys that let me in


[Chorus]

       F#m            Bm
So I'm changing who I am
        E             A
Cause what I am's not good
       F#m            Bm
And I know you love me now
        E             A
But I don't see why you should
       F#m            Bm
So I'm changing who I am
        E             A
Cause what I am's not good
       F#m            Bm
And I know you love me now
        E             A
Though I don't see why you should
       F#m            Bm
And I don't see why you should
        E             A
No I don't see why you should
