[E] [F#] [Em]
[C#m] [B]
[E] My best friend had a little [A] situation at the [Em] end of our senior year
[A] And like a shot she and Mitchell got [B] married that summer
[E] Carol Ann getting bigger every [A] minute thinking, [E] what am I doing here?
[A] While Mitchell's out every [E] night being a heavy metal drummer
[A] They [F#] got a little cute house on a little cute street
[E] With a crucifix on [D] the [B] door
Mitchell got a job at a record [E] store in the mall
Just [F#] the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the [D] eastern shore
I thought about [Em] what I wanted, [C#m]
wasn't like [D#] that at all
[F#] Made Carol Ann a [D] cute baby [B] sweater thinking I can do better [Em] than that
In
[F#m] [F#]
[F#m] [Am] [B]
[F#] [Em] a year or so I moved to the city [E] thinking, what have I got to lose?
[A] Got a room, got a cat and got [B] twenty pounds thinner
[E] Met [A] [E] a guy in a class I was [F#m] taking who you might say looked like [F#] Tom Cruise
He wouldn't leave me alone unless [A] I went with him to dinner
[F#] And I guess he was cute and I guess he was sweet and I guess he was good in bed
[B] I gave up my life for the better part [E] of a year
And so I'm starting to think that this maybe might [B] work
And the second it [D] entered my head
[C#m] He needed to take some time off, focus on his [D#] career
[F#] He blew me off with a heartfelt letter, [E] I thought I can do better than that
[A]
[D] You don't have to get a haircut, you don't have to change your [F#m] shoes
You don't have to like Duran Duran, [A] just love me
[D] You don't have to put the [F#] seat down, you [Bm] don't have to watch the news
[D] You don't have to learn [B] to tango, [F#m] you don't have to eat [C#] prosciutto
You [F#m] don't have to change a thing, [F#] just stay
[B]
[F#] I [D] want you and you and nothing but you, miles and piles of you
[E] Finally I'll have something [Gm] worthwhile to [D] think of each morning
You and you and nothing [Bm] but you, no substitution [E] will do
Nothing but [G] fresh, undiluted and pure, [A] time of the life
[F#m]
[E] I don't [D] need [A] [F#] [A] [E]
any [B] lifetime commitments, I don't need to get hitched tonight
I [A] don't want you to throw [F#]
in the sands
[Em] I don't mean to put on any [F#m] pressure, but [Em] I know when a thing is right
[C#m] [A] And I spend every day reconfiguring my senses
When [F#m] we get to my house, take a look at [E] that town, take a look at how far I've gone
[B] I will never go back, never look back [E] anymore
[F#] And it feels like my life [B] led right to your side and will keep me there [D] from now on
[A] Think about what you [Em] wanted, [C#m]
think about what [Em] could be
[C#m] Think about how [Em] I love [A] you, say you'll move in [D#] with me
[E] Think of what's great [F#m] about me and you, [B] think of the bullshit [F#m] we've both been through
[E] Think of what's past, [F#m] because we can do
