You Got To Me

 G C G C

[Verse]
G                               C
To celebrate undying faith, we’re 
gathered here like drifted wrecks
G                           
for a late September wedding, 
    D
October breathing down our necks.
G                                 
I knew this town in another time. 
  C
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                            
And they got candlelight and a 
                   C
reggae band, champagne by the bucket
 load
G                               D
Limos lined up down the curb to take
 us where we need to go.
G                                 
And I need to go somewhere I’ve 
      C
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
Brought all this empty down on 
            C
top of me.
G               C       G       C
You got to me.

[Verse]
G                              
We danced between the snowflakes 
                 C
falling, tripping on the 
cobblestones
G                                 
And the trolley tracks, we had it 
             D
all then, Christmas break your 
roommates gone
G                                 
We stoked the fire and let it burn
           C
 till the embers glowed in the 
morning light
G                                 
Trust in the tangle of skin on 
      D
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        
I didn’t know but we were not to 
       C       D                  
be, but I know a thing or two now.
     G     C    G    C


[Verse]
G                                 
The wedding party’s raging yet, 
        C
how the old and desperate misbehave
G                             
Limo smells like cocaine sweat, 
     D
cheap cologne and aftershave
G                                 
It’s gotta be one of these row 
             C
house doors I knew the number long 
ago
G                              
I step out on the curb. Tell the 
    D
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     
I didn’t know but we were not to 
        C       D                
be, but I know a thing or two 
G   C
now.

[Verse]
G                             C
The paper boy wants a smoke, leans 
his bike against a tree
G                                 
He’s tired and cold and broke and 
     D
he don’t what to make of me
G                             
Standing here in my three piece 
          C
suit, standing here just like I am
G                                 
With my vest unbuttoned and my 
              D
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    
Off on a thousand dollar odyssey,
     C           D          G
 and I know a thing or two now.
     C          D            G
Yeah I know a thing or two now.
     C          D            G    
Yeah I know a thing or two now.
