G#m

[Intro]

B E G#m

[Verse 1]

B E G#m

It took a minute

G#m B E G#m

When I kept telling myself that doesn't look right

G#m B E G#m

And not to an inept combination

B E G#m

and there was a party there tonight

[Verse 2]

B E G#m

It took a minute

B E G#m

and then conjuring another night

B E G#m

And we're too late in love and too slow

B E G#m

I would want to be there too

[Chorus]

E G#m F#

And they said, where were you?

B F# E

It doesn't matter if they wanted to know

E G#m F#

And they look back and where were you?

F# B E G#m

Where did you go?

[Solo]

B E G#m

[Verse 3]

B E G#m

It took a minute

B E G#m

And it's a minute I wish it had turned to me

B E G#m

Into a testament to living in isolation

B E G#m

I should know you really don't have to be

[Verse 4]

B E G#m

It took a minute

B E G#m

And then conjuring another noon,

B E G#m

I ain't really, don't look back

B E G#m

Don't you remember like we used to?

[Chorus]

E G#m F#

And they said, where were you?

B F# E

It doesn't matter if they wanted to know

E G#m F#

And they look back and where were you?

F# B E G#m

Where did you go?

[Outro]

B E G#m
