You Got To Me

[Verse]
G                               C
To celebrate undying faith, we’re gathered here like drifted wrecks
G                               D
for a late September wedding, October breathing down our necks.
G                                   C
I knew this town in another time. I knew this town a younger man
G                               D
with the world in my hip pocket a subway token in my hand.
G       C           G           C
          Mmm you got to me.

[Verse]
G                                               C
And they got candlelight and a reggae band, champagne by the bucket load
G                               D
Limos lined up down the curb to take us where we need to go.
G                                       C
And I need to go somewhere I’ve been to find a place I lost the trail
G                               D
Way back then so long ago I don’t suppose you even know

[Chorus]
G
You got to me.
C                               G            C
Brought all this empty down on top of me.
G               C       G       C
You got to me.

[Verse]
G                                               C
We danced between the snowflakes falling, tripping on the cobblestones
G                                              D
And the trolley tracks, we had it all then, Christmas break your roommates gone
G                                            C
We stoked the fire and let it burn till the embers glowed in the morning light
G                                       D
Trust in the tangle of skin on skins I’ve not known quite that feeling since

[Chorus]
G
You got to me.
C                               G
Brought all this empty down on top of me.
C                       G               C       D                       G     C    G    C
I didn’t know but we were not to be, but I know a thing or two now.

[Verse]
G                                         C
The wedding party’s raging yet, how the old and desperate misbehave
G                                  D
Limo smells like cocaine sweat, cheap cologne and aftershave
G                                              C
It’s gotta be one of these row house doors I knew the number long ago
G                                  D
I step out on the curb. Tell the driver just go on and go.

[Chorus]
G
You got to me.
C                               G
Brought all this empty down on top of me.
C                          G             C       D                G   C
I didn’t know but we were not to be, but I know a thing or two now.

[Verse]
G                             C
The paper boy wants a smoke, leans his bike against a tree
G                                      D
He’s tired and cold and broke and he don’t what to make of me
G                                       C
Standing here in my three piece suit, standing here just like I am
G                                               D
With my vest unbuttoned and my neck tie loose, impervious to all abuse

[Chorus]
G
You got to me.
C                               G
Brought all this empty down on top of me.
C                           G         C           D          G
Off on a thousand dollar odyssey, and I know a thing or two now.
     C          D            G
Yeah I know a thing or two now.
     C          D            G    C    D    G
Yeah I know a thing or two now.
