Dido - see you when you're 40
Life For Rent, 2003
Track #5/11
BmI've driven round in circles for three hours
it was bound to happen that I'd up at yours
I temporarily forgot that there's better days to come
I thought that I would give you just one more chance
cos I Em7want, tonight, what I've been Dwaiting for
but I Em7found, tonight, what I'd been Dwarned about
Bmyou think you are complicated, deep mystery to all
well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
all energy no meaning, with a lot of words
so paper thin that one real feeling could knock you down
and I've Em7seen, tonight, what I'd been Dwarned about
I'm gonna Em7leave, tonight, before I Dchange my mind
Bmso see you when you're 40, lost and all alone
being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
not sad because you lost me
but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad
you think misery will make you stand out from the crowd
well if you had walked past me today 
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
now I've Em7seen, tonight, how could I Dwaste my time
and I'll Em7be on my way and I Dwon't be back
cos I've Em7seen, tonight, what I've been Dwarned about
you're just a Em7boy, not a man, and I'm not Dcoming back

Dido - see you when you're 40

Life For Rent, 2003

Track #5/11

I've driven round in circles for three hours

it was bound to happen that I'd up at yours

I temporarily forgot that there's better days to come

I thought that I would give you just one more chance

Em7 D

cos I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for

Em7 D

but I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about

you think you are complicated, deep mystery to all

well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special

all energy no meaning, with a lot of words

so paper thin that one real feeling could knock you down

Em7 D

and I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about

Em7 D

I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind

so see you when you're 40, lost and all alone

being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know

not sad because you lost me

but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad

you think misery will make you stand out from the crowd

well if you had walked past me today

I wouldn't have picked you out

Em7 D

now I've seen, tonight, how could I waste my time

Em7 D

and I'll be on my way and I won't be back

Em7 D

cos I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about

Em7 D

you're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back
