tabbed by scrub

Am                     G  (hammer on the fifth – to make a Gadd9)
You said you'd like to see me again
F        Am       G 
And then it all unraveled
Am                     G  (hammer on the fifth – to make aGadd9)
I heard that you were seeing someone
F        Am       G 
Not such an insignificant other
Am                     G  (hammer on the fifth – to make a Gadd9)
It seems my moves were far too swift
F        Am       G 
In life, some things are worth the effort

Prechorus
Dm                        G         Cadd9  (hammer off the ninth)  
I touched the place where your hair had been
Am                        G         Dm
I buttoned the shirt that you left 'round mine

Chorus
Am        G(hammer on the fifth)F        
Defacing pictures of famous people
Am        G      Am        
On the train
Am        G(hammer on the fifth)F        
Standing by The Monument
Am        G      Am        
Just waiting for the rain

X2 
Am                     G  (hammer on the fifth – to make a Gadd9)
F        Am       G 

In my wallet with your photobooth smile
And I wearing my waterproof jacket
Posterity has hold of us now
Am I just waiting for the next chapter?
We sleep tonight in seperate towns
At dusk, we see our disparate futures

I tore a sock to bind up your golden hair
We found a hotel bar to sustain our last night
In vain...

Defacing pictures of famous people
On the train
Standing by The Monument
Just waiting for the rain

X2 
Am                     G  (hammer on the fifth – to make a Gadd9)
F        Am       G 

F              G        
Standing by The Monument
     F              Am  G  Am  
Just waiting for the rain
	   G	            F
I'm just passing my time
	   G	            Am
With you on my mind
	   G	                 F
I'm just wasting my precious time
G	            Am
With you on my mind
