[G]
There was a whole weird thing with the horses.
I think they know exactly what happened.
I don't think it needs any explaining.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't your first choice.
I think I was the last one remaining.
I wish we hadn't gone and destroyed it.
Cause I was thinking we could pull another weekend jerk.
You still got a little bit of clairvoyance.
I remember the [D] Nettle Bar.
[A] I remember the last [G] of war.
[Em] You could say [G] I passed across [D] before.
So [Em] if it has to be a secret, then I [C] guess that I can deal with [G] it.
You and I both know it's a negative [C] thing.
[Em] Oh, yeah, yeah, [C] yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Girls know [G] the whole truth.
There were a couple pretty crass propositions.
There were some bugs in the bar.
There was a kid camped out by the coat check.
She said, see my last party's the industrial age.
And you came in dressed like a train wreck.
[Bm] I remember [D] being on TV.
[A] In five seconds, [G] we were ready.
[Em] You could say I [G] passed across [D] before.
[Em] So if it has to be a secret, [G] then I guess that I can deal with it.
God only knows it's not [C] always a positive [Em] thing.
To [C] see a few seconds [G] into the future.
[Em] And if you swear to keep it decent, [C] yeah, I'll come and [G] see her.
But it's not gonna feel like a romance or comedy.
[Em] [C] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No one loves [G] to listen.
[Bm] [D]
[A] [G]
[D] [Bm]
[D] [A]
[G] So [Em]
[G] [D]
if [Em] it has to be a [G] secret, then I guess that I can deal with it.
You and I both know it's a negative [C] thing.
[Em] Yeah, [C] yeah, yeah, [G] yeah, yeah, yeah.
Girls know the whole truth.
And if [Em] you swear to keep it [G] decent, yeah, I'll come and see her.
But it's not gonna feel like a romance [C] or comedy.
[Em] [C] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No one [G] loves to listen.
[C] [Em] [G] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Girls know the whole truth.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No one loves to listen.
