B9 A#m B9 A#m


[Verse 1]
B9                        A#m              D#m
I come home late after closing the coffee shop
B9                                      A#m      F#
Make myself some dinner then get to drinking
B9
And Peter down at the corner store
           A#m                 D#m
The young man, our friend remember?
            D#m                             A#m
Well, he's moving on, he don't work there anymore
                                F#
I went by last night and he was gone


[Chorus 1]
          A#m             B9          A#m
And I just wish I could tell you
                           B9         A#m
Yeah, I just wish I could tell you


[Verse 2]
B9                          A#m
Wake up phone call from the A PD
D#m                         B9
Say they wanna talk to me about the theft
                            F#
Can't say I haven't been keeping busy
B9
I couldn't write a song, so I tried to play that song
          A#m                        D#m
That we used to sing together bout sailing
                              B9
Couldn't make it through the first verse
                            F#
Without breaking down and crying

What the hell is wrong with me?


[Chorus 2]
            A#m            B9        A#m
Hey I just wish we could sing it
                            B9       A#m
Yeah, I just wish we could sing it


[Verse 3]
B9                   A#m
To answer your letter, most days I'm doing fine
                           D#m                          B9
But sometimes I still get deep, down, dark and feeling low
                                F#    B9
But now I wear sunglasses and a big jacket
             F#                        B9
And get so high that I can't see the bottom, it helps a little
                            A#m            D#m                 B9    F#
And when it's too hard to handle I call Carlos and we talk it out


[Chorus 3]
                          B9         A#m
But I just wish I could call you
                           B9        A#m
Yeah, I just wish I could call you


[Verse 4]
B9                              Db
Remember that time we rode the train to San Mateo
        A#m                      D#m
And met up with my mom and her husband
                  B9
She'd just found $20 on the ground
                                          F#
So she took us out to lunch, and it was raining
B9
After that we said goodbye, and walked down to the tea gardens
A#m                   D#m                                      B9
Beneath our broken umbrella and when we got there it was closed
                   A#m
We did our best to enjoy ourselves despite it all
        F#
But by then the sun was setting on our problems


[Chorus 4]
   A#m         B9    A#m
I want to say sorry
              A#m         B9     A#m
Yeah, I just wanna say sorry


[Verse 5]
B9                               B
I got this whole trunk of love poetry between us
         A#m               D#m
That I can't put away, or throw away, or even begin to think about
 B9                                     A#m
So it just sits in the window, waiting
B9                      A#m
for the day when some new little rose is gonna be heading on over
               D#m
And I'll just sweep it away, sweep our memories up
           A#m
Like I'm making my bed, without thinking

Just like I'm making my bed, without thinking


[Chorus 5]
               F#         B9            A#m
And that's no way to say thank you
                F#           B9
Yeah, that's no way to say thank you

[Verse 6]
B9                              A#m                      D#m
That whole thing about the A PD, it's not as bad as it sounds
                                  B9
I just cashed a check for somebody that turned out to be stolen
                                    F#
And I think I did it 'cause I was lonely
B9
I got the call today that the bank's gonna pay restitution
   B9
But there was a while there where I thought
 D#m                                             B9
I was gonna get thrown in a cell or be on the line for 5000 dollars
     F#                              A#m
And you don't know the first thing about it, beginning, middle or end


[Otro]
               F#m         A#m          B9       A#m
But it's still you that arrest me and robs me
                 F#m           B9          A#m
Still you that arrest me and robs me
                 F#m           B9          A#m
Still you that arrest me and robs me
                 F#m           B9          A#m
Still you that arrest me and robs me
                 F#m           B9          A#m
Still you that arrest me and robs me
                 F#m           B9          A#m
Still you that arrest me and robs me
                 F#m           B9          A#m
Still you that arrest me and robs me
                 F#m           B9          A#m
Still you that arrest me and robs me
