-INTRO-

VERSE RIFF
VERSE RIFF
       Is it all that you want?
VERSE RIFF
VERSE RIFF

-VERSE-

  VERSE RIFF
I wish I could do that again but I already know
         VERSE RIFF
That the power of Christ that's inside her is too strong for me to overthrow
             VERSE RIFF
And I wasn't talking about Whoopi Goldberg when I said that I would see your ghost
        VERSE RIFF
And I'd follow you now to your grave somehow, but you've always been crap as a host

And you'd push me from pillar to post

-CHORUS-

G                           G/F#
These are the days when you will recognize
        D                         Em7
All the love and the loss in your eyes
                    Cadd9               A7sus4
And the memories of me at the vending machines

     Em7      D            Dsus2/C
Does God even know what it means
      A7sus4
To be taken down in fits and starts
   Cadd9
by village halls and vandal hearts?
      Em7             D             Dsus2/C
And I wish I was John Loengard for just one day

        A7sus4
I would do the things I never do
Cadd9
None of which i'd owe to you
    Em7         D            Dsus2/C~          VERSE RIFF
And no-one even listens to a word these people say
     VERSE RIFF
Hold on!

-VERSE-
      VERSE RIFF
And I wish I could try that again but I already knew
        VERSE RIFF
That persistence is never my strong point, this desire is too long overdue
             VERSE RIFF
And I wasn't thinking I was Patrick Swayze when I went dirty dancing with you
         VERSE RIFF 2
And I'd follow you now to your grave somehow, but I'm not sure what good it would do

But what does all that even prove?

-CHORUS-

G                           G/F#
These are the days when you will recognize
        D                         Em7
All the love and the loss in your eyes
                    Cadd9               A7sus4
And the memories of me at the vending machines

     Em7      D            Dsus2/C
Does God even know what it means
      A7sus4
To be taken down in fits and starts
   Cadd9
by village halls and vandal hearts?
      Em7             D             Dsus2/C
And I wish I was John Loengard for just one day

        A7sus4
I would do the things I never do
Cadd9
None of which i'd owe to you
    Em7         D            Dsus2/C>B>E>F#    G
And no-one even listens to a word these people say

-BRIDGE- 
    G                        G/F#
And now that you fear it the most
                          Em7
I thought of you not as a ghost
                             Cadd9
Now I'm hiding confessions in prose
                          G/B
None of which you'll ever alter

G > G/F#

Cadd9
                   A7sus4
Is it all that you want?
                        Em7~ D~ Cadd9~
Is it everything you've got? My God!

      Am*~                             G/C*~
To be taken down in fits and starts by village halls and vandal hearts?
      Em*~            D*~          C*~
And I wish I was John Loengard for just one day
        Am*~                      G/C*~
I would do the things I never do, none of which I'd owe to you
    Em*~         D*~          C*~
And no one even listens to a word these people say

-OUTRO-
      VERSE RIFF
"Slow down, slow down!" calls the captain as his ship runs aground
      VERSE RIFF
And I could swing this vessel to starboard, but there's really no point in that now
        OUTRO RIFF 1
And I admit that I counted my chickens and since then I've been counting the cost
        OUTRO RIFF 2
And you hate all life's unanswered questions, but you still hurry home to watch Lost
