[VERSE]
[A] My best friend had a little situation at the [F#m]end of our senior year

[A] Carolann getting bigger every minute Thinking, [F#m]"What am I doing here?"
[D] While Mitchell's out every night being a heavy-metal [A]drummer

[CHORUS]
They got a li[F#m]ttle cute house on a l[E]ittle cute street With a cru[D]cifix on the do[A]or
[C#m]Mitchell got a job at the rec[D]ord store [B]in the [E]mall
Just the [F#m]typical facts of a [E]typical life in a [D]town on the Eastern [A]Shore
I [C#m]thought about what I [D]wanted It [C#m]wasn't like that at [B]all
Ma[E]de Carol[F#m]ann a c[Bm]ute baby [D]sweater Thinking "I can do[E] better than [A]that"

[A] In a year or so, I moved to the city Thinking "[F#m]What have I got to lose?"

[A] Met a guy in a class I was taking with some[F#m] very well placed tattoos
[D] He wouldn't leave me alone 'less I went with him to [A]dinner

[CHORUS]
And I [F#m]guess he was cute And I [E]guess he was sweet And I [D]guess he was good in [A]bed
I g[C#m]ave up my life for a [D]better part [B]of a ye[E]ar
And so I'm [F#m]starting to think that this [E]maybe might work And the s[D]econd it entered my [A]head
He [C#m]needed to take some [D]time off [C#m]Focus on his "[B]career"
[E]He blew me [F#m]off with a he[Bm]artfelt [D]letter I thought "I can do [E]better than [A]that"

You dont' [D]have to learn to [B]tango You don't [E]have to eat prosciu[C#7]tto
You don't [F#m]have to change a thing Just stay with [B]me

I want [D]you and you and nothing but you [Bm]Miles and piles of you
Finally [G]I'll have something worthw[C]hile To think about ea[D]ch morning

[D] And I spend every day re-configuring my[A] senses

[CHORUS]
When we [F#m]get to my house, take a [E]look at that town Take a [D]look at how far I've [A]gone
I will n[C#m]ever go back never [D]look back [B]anym[E]ore
And it [F#m]feels like my life led r[E]ight to your side And will [D]keep me there from now [A]on
Th[C#m]ink about what you [D]wanted [C#m]Think about what could [D]be
Th[C#m]ink about how I [D]love you [C#m]Say you'll move in with [B]me
Thi[E]nk of what's great about [F#m]me and you T[E]hink of the bullsh*t we've[F#m] both been through
Thi[E]nk of what's past because [F#m]we can do [G]better! We can do [E]better!
