B F# E
Late at night in good company,
B F# E
we talked of idleness and injury
B F# E
Problems and feelings shared
B F# E
now more than halved
B F#
The stereo, two rooms away
E
repeated songs we’d hear again
B F#
and every song became
E
a song about love
{Light strumming}
C#m F#
You were hesitant, and I was naive
B C#
I was adamant, and you had to concede
E
We were close,
C#m
but not as close as we
{Pick up strum speed and volume as the B elongates}
F# B
might have come to be
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/eddplant/we_parted_tab.html ]
B F#
One thing led to another,
E
as the song always goes,
B F#
and we lay there in bed
E
down to the last of our clothes
{Let ring}
B F# E
And by the way I tried to say I love you
{Straight in with heavy strumming}
B-F#-E x2
B F# E
I held you close and gave you sympathy,
B F# E
such little thanks for all you did for me
B F# E
But mine’s a caring heart,
B F# E
and yours was broken
B F#
The stereo, two rooms away
E
repeated songs we’d hear again
B F#
and every song became
E
a song about love
C#m F#
You were hesitant, and I was naive
B C#
I was adamant, and you had to concede
E
We were close,
C#m
but not as close as we
F# B
might have come to be
B F#
One thing led to another,
E
as the song always goes,
B F#
and we lay there in bed
E
down to the last of our clothes
B F# E
And by the way I tried to say I love you,
F#
but the words got jumbled up
E
and I just kissed you again
B F# E
And it was over before it started,
E
and we parted
