Lyrics/Song Structure
PLay main riff over:
"So we meet again!" and I offer my hand
All dry and English slow
And you look at me and I understand
Yeah it's a look I used to know
"Three long years... and your favourite man...
Is that any way to say hello?"
And you hold me... like you'll never let me go
This part is a synth or something, can play it like this:
1-------------------|
2-------------------|
3-------11------11--| x8 over main riff
4---/12-----/12-----|
5-----0-------0-----|
6-------------------|
Main riff again over:
"Oh c'mon and have a drink with me
Sit down and talk a while..."
"Oh I wish I could... and I will!
But now I just don’t have the time..."
And over my shoulder as I walk away
I see you give that look goodbye...
I still see that look in your eye...
On the chorus play between these chords:
1--0---0----|
2--0---2----|
3--0---2----| strum a bunch of times
4--2---2----|
5--2---0----|
6--0--------|

So dizzy Mr. Busy - Too much rush to talk to Billy
All the silly frilly things have to first get done
In a minute - sometime soon - maybe next time - make it June
Until later... doesn't always come
Main riff over:
It's so hard to think "It ends sometime
And this could be the last
I should really hear you sing again
And I should really watch you dance"
Because it's hard to think
"I'll never get another chance
To hold you... to hold you... "
Chorus chords:
But chilly Mr. Dilly - Too much rush to talk to Billy
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done
In a second - just hang on - all in good time - wont be long
Until later...
On the bridge play:
1---------0------------0----|
2---------3------------2----|
3-------0------------0------| repeat
4-----0------------2--------|
5---2------------0----------|
6---------------------------|
I should've stopped to think - I should've made the time
I could've had that drink - I could've talked a while
I would've done it right - I would've moved us on
But I didn't - now it's all too late
It's over... over
And you're gone..
PLay main riff:
I miss you I miss you I miss you
I miss you I miss you I miss you so much
But how many times can I walk away and wish "If only..."
But how many times can I talk this way and wish "If only..."
Keep on making the same mistake
Keep on aching the same heartbreak
I wish "If only..."
But "If only...."
Is a wish too late...
Here's the little "guitar solo that shows up a few times:
1------------------------------------------------------|
2-----------------------------------------7-------7----|
3---7--7-6-----7--7-6--------7--7-7-7--9-----7--9------|
4----------7----------7--------------------------------|
5------------------------------------------------------|
6------------------------------------------------------|
End on this chord:
1--0----|
2--10---|
3--0----|
4--7----|
5--0----|
6-------|
I'm sure that this is 100% correct...
Hope it helps you out.
Peace.
