Linus And Me

A                     F#m
linus and me, we were talking about first loves,
Bm                           D
how they burn out, leave you charred
                          A
and then changed completely.
A                        F#m
i thought about that one summer burning in the suburbs:
Bm                     D
me and caroline making eyes and waiting on the subway.
A                            F#m
she'd sought me out like the stamp that finished her collection,
Bm                    D
like a dying breed in danger of extinction,
       A                                F#m
and we fell into each other without the slightest bit of caution,
Bm                     D
until the whole thing fell out from under our feet.
F#m                      A
i see caroline sometimes walking down the street,
        Bm                            D
and her head’s all full up with those people she meets.
        F#m                               A
i wanna call out and say "hey, thanks for everything, caroline"
Bm                       D             D
but she don't go by that name no more…


[Chorus]
           D                            A
and if she saw me tonight, she wouldn't look at me twice,
        E                            F#m               E D
but you know, don't you know, it's alright… alright... alright.
D                      A
me and caroline walked different paths in life,
        E                            F#m             E D
but you know, don't you know, it's alright… alright… alright.

[Verse 2]
A                    F#m
tommy and me, we had committed a crime,
Bm                    D
not a lot to it, just something we did at the time.
A                    F#m
there was war in the air and it troubled my mind.
Bm                         D                F#m
there were secrets between us, but i'd been sure
              A                      Bm
the things we shared, well they were ours,
                        D
but there was something there i hadn't seen before
       F#m              A
when i saw tommy in his military uniform:
Bm                           D   D
he'd just been looking for a war.


[Chorus]
          D                           A
and if he saw me tonight he might not look me in the eye,
        E                            F#m             E D
but you know, don't you know, it's alright… alright… alright.
D                    A
me and tommy we had different wars to fight,
        E                               F#m      E D
but you know, don't you know, it's just gotta be alright.

F#m                       A
it took a while thinking about someone new
         Bm                           D
before i broke and took down that old picture you drew.
              F#m                    A
you know they say moving on is just something you do.
      Bm                        D                            F#m
could be. i don’t know. i think sometimes it just happens to you.
F#m           A                      Bm
you find your path and you take that road.
              D                 F#m
when you look back, i hope that know
              A                     Bm
the things we share and the ways we grow,
               D                      F#m
they’re due to all the people we've known.
A      Bm  D
oh oh ohhh
      F#m A
ohhohohhh
    B#m
ohohohhhh


[Chorus]
             D                        A
and when you saw me tonight i know it didn't feel right,
        E                              F#m           E     D
but you know, don't you know, it takes time, yeah it takes time.
D                     A
me and you, we held a little too tight.
        E                               F#m      E D
but you know, don't you know, it's just gotta be alright.
