When you give it up for gone

but your still digging in the mind

and your staring out the window

saying everything wil be just fine

keepin' with whole affair

every word seems out of line

no matter what angle you get

it's polished til it shines

(chorus)

A B7 E

Take a guess at where i stand

A B7 E

pick a number one to two

A B7 E

take a look at the back of your hand

just like you know it

B7 E

you know me too

and when you say who the hell am i living with

what just went down

where did this come from

why are all my colors faded brown

when did it change

what's with the rage

who's the dude with the extra roll

whats the verse the line the chapter the page

(chorus)

A B7 E

Take a guess at where i stand

A B7 E

pick a number one to two

take a look at the back of your hand

just like you know it

you know me too

(bridge)

A B7 A

You think your alone without any place left

to go

A B7 A

like you need one of those kisses long and

slow

first glance is not what it seems

A B7

but there's some things i just know

A E

like you take two sugars with a splash of

cream

(chorus)

A B7 E

Take a guess at where i stand

A B7 E

pick a number one to two

A B7 E

take a look at the back of your hand

just like you know it
