One of the best songs by The Weakerthans. I'm suprised it hasn't been tabbed yet. It's
amazing song with 2 guitars, but still great with only 1. I worked hard on this and I

[A5]I count to three and grin[E5].
You smile and let me in[F#5].
We sit and watch the wa[D5]ll you painted purple.[A5]
Speech will spill on sp[E5]ace.
Our little cups of grac[F#5]e.
But pauses rattle [D5]on about the way that you c[F#5]ut the snow-fence,
[G#5]braved the blood,
the me[A5]tal of those hea[D5]rts that you alw[F#5]ays end up pres[G#5]sing your tongue [A5]to.
How your b[F#5]ody still reme[G#5]mbers things you t[A5]old it to fo[D5]rget.
How those [F#5]furious affect[G#5]ions followed you.[A5]

[A5]I've got this store-bought w[E5]ay of saying I'm ok[F#5]ay,
and you learned how to c[D5]ry in total silence.[A5]
We're talented and br[E5]ight.
We're lonely and upt[F#5]ight.
We've found some lovely wa[D5]ys to disappoint,
but the ai[F#5]rport's always al[G#5]most empty t[A5]his time of the y[D5]ear,
so let's g[F#5]o play on a bagga[G#5]ge carousel.[A5]
[F#5]Set our watches for[G#5]ward like we're ju[A5]st arriving h[D5]ere

Knew too well.
