INTRO: (1)

            (1)
So we were on our way home

On the right bus

I just want to ask the driver
 
If it's not too much fuss
   G  
To drop me at the old lady's

And pick me up tomorrow
            (1)
If you could, If you could


      A
It's all by design
    Bm  D       G         D
To keep me from losing my mind

            D
Well I was on my way there

And it was just around the corner

I caught a funny stare 

And started a fight with the owner

              G
Well it's the whole nine yards
                                 D   (2)   (2)
And I fold all my cards in your face,   oh
          G     
'Cause I love what is real

And I loved you my dear
                         D (2)
Before you were replaced
                      
Oh, you were replaced

          A
And it's all by design
    Bm  D        G         D
To keep me from losing my mind

      D
So I saw you over there

And acted like I don't care

'Cause I've never seen something that made me stare

[G  O- Sorry, I couldn't tab this if I tried, I'm not that good!]

                  G
Yeah, so then we run through your backyards
                                     D  (2)
And throw all my best cards in your face
                 
Yeah in your face
           G
Because I love what is real

And I loved you my dear before I was replaced
               D (2)
I was replaced

          A
And it's all by design
    Bm   D       G             D (2)
To keep me from losing my mind
      A                
It's all by design 
    Bm  D        G         D
To keep us from losing our minds

        D
We were on our way home

And we were on the right bus

I just want to tell the driver

Don't bother 'cause it's a bust

THE END!

Footnotes:
(1)- This is a chord called (in full) "A add9 no5 ||R23" and I didn't think I could fit
all this in the space I had. It is played like this:

E|--------7|
B|-------6-|
G|-0-------|
D|--------7|
A|-0-------|
E|X--------|

(2) This is a sliding thing that just sounds cool, and I don't think the song sounds
quite complete without it. So here it is. It's not hard to tell where it is exactly in the song.

E|-----------------|-----------------|
B|-----------------|-----------------|
G|-11-11-6-6-6/7-7-|-11-11-6-6-6/7-7-|
D|-----------------|-11-11-6-6-6/7-7-|
A|-----------------|-----------------|
