G
I got your address from the phone book at the library
Cmaj7
Wandered in, looked you up and you were there
G Cmaj7
Weird that you've been living, maybe, 2 miles away for the best part of 20 years
Am
You must be, what, in your early forties now
C
If I remember,
G
You were born in June or was it May?
Cmaj7
Eisenhower was the president although it may have been JFK
G
Years of silence
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Not enough who could blame us giving up?
Am Cmaj7/E
Above the quiet there's a buzz
That's me trying
G Cmaj7
You still working in that store on ventura?
G
You still going with--no, that's not fair
Cmaj7
I know I haven't been the very best of dads
I'll hold my hand up there
G Cmaj7
The reason that I'm writing is that i'd like for us to meet
Get a little daughter dad action going soon
Am
We can put things behind us
Eat some pizza, drink some beer
Cmaj7
You still see your sister Lemli?
Bring her, too
G Cmaj7
Years of silence, not enough
G Cmaj7
Who could blame us giving up?
Am Cmaj7
Above the quiet there's a buzz
That's me trying
G Cmaj7
But I don't want to talk about any of that bad stuff
Dm
Why I missed out on your wedding and your high school graduation
G
I'd like to explain, but I can't
Dm
So let's keep things neutral
G
Stick to topics that won't bug us
How 'bout this?
Cmaj7
Let's choose a book and we'll read it before we meet
C
Then we can sit down at a restaurant
Bbmaj7/F
Have a look at the menu and talk about it while we eat
See, if we never had a problem
Then that's what life would be like
G
Easy
Uncomplicated
Cmaj7
Cool
G
So let's just pretend that the past didn't happen
Cmaj7
I don't really like thriller as well.
G
I don't want to know if I've got grandchildren
Cmaj7
no need to tell me where I went wrong
G Cmaj7/E
I don't want to know what happened in your thirties
You wanna try 'cold mountain'?
Or is that too long??
G Cmaj7
Years of silence, not enough
G Cmaj7
Who could blame us giving up?
Am Cmaj7
Above the quiet there's a buzz
G/Cmaj7/G/Am/Cmaj7/E
