Tom: Em Em Spoken: A Buddhist on the subway tells me that What you want is rarely, if ever, what you need. And of course, I argue the point like a completely self-righteous idiot. Em Sung: I was looking for perfection Am Em And it found me, right between the eyes Em All this time we spent in bliss, Am Em You know, like all things, it has to fade away C The devil says beware B7 Em Cus when you ask, you might get what you want C The devil, he may care B7 Em When you ask, you might get what you want Em Spoken: So now I spend most of my time waiting for things to happen, Letting the wind take me where it will. Em Sung: Only when it's done do you lose the veil Am Em You get so blind you never see the light coming down the tracks It keeps me hanging from a thread Am Devil drives the train, Em Devil pass me by C Em This is the happy song I wrote for you C B7 This is the happy song I never wrote for you G And after all this time, C And after all the lies G B7 G Never dreamed you would seem to me little more than an earthly waste of time C G After all these precious opportunities that I had to set things right B7 Dissolve like regrets in heaven, they do And she said Em Am Em Anata no namae o yuki ni kaku Am Em Keredomo nani mo iwanai. [Japanese translation: You write your name in the snow Yet say nothing.] C Em This is the happy song I wrote for you C B7 This is the happy song I never wrote for you G And after all this time, C And after all the lies G B7 G Never dreamed you would seem to me little more than an earthly waste of time C G After all these precious opportunities that I had to set things right B7 Dissolve like regret in heaven, (tab for this is below) Zen Buddhist heaven. Tab for the end (is played on B7, but you van actually end the song with just Em, if the tab is difficult for ya:)) E|------------------| B|-------------2----| G|------1--1--1-----| D|--2--2--2--2------| A|-0--0--0----------| E|2-----------------|
