Ooohhh

Ooohhh

If these walls could talk

A Asus4 G A Asus4

I’d defer to the furniture,

Em A Asus4

The piano, the table, the bed that we both sleep in,

These constant silent messengers

A Asus4 C D Dsus4

‘Cause there’s a story at the bottom of each fingerprint

Am D Dsus4

That these disregarded artifacts collect

And if we boil down these documented memories

I have a feeling we should know what to expect

G D Am

You were right on time

C G D

Out of nowhere

G D Am

Right on time

G D C Em

And all I need

A Asus4 G

Ooohhh

A Asus4 Em

Ooohhh

If they won’t talk

A Asus4 G A Asus4

I’ll investigate a formula

Em A Asus4

Figures, equations, details of our union,

The edges of the nebula

A Asus4 C D Dsus4

At the end of such a long and noble sacrifice

Am D Dsus4

All that’s left is to submit my full report

I’ll have turned all of my hunches into certainties

That will confirm what I already knew before

G D Am

You were right on time

C G D

Out of nowhere

G D Am

Right on time

And all I need

(Solo)

A Asus4 C D

So I stumble to the steet back from the alleyway

Am D Dsus4

Everyone can see I’m bleeding through my shirt

Now I’m describing all my shooter’s features carefully

And I start to realize just how badly I’ve been hurt

G D Am

You were right on time

C G D

Out of nowhere

G D Am

Right on time

G D C

And all I need

G D Am

You were right on time

Out of nowhere

G D Am

Right on time
