[G/Cmaj7/G/Cmaj7]
[G]I got your address from the phone book at the library
Wandered i[Cmaj7]n, looked you up and you were there
[G]Weird that you've been living, maybe, 2 miles away for the [Cmaj7]best part of 20 years
You must be, what, i[G]n your early forties now
If I remember[Cmaj7],
You were born in June or was it M[G]ay?
Eisenhower was the president [Cmaj7]although it may have been JFK
[G]Years of silence
Not [Cmaj7]enough who could [G]blame us giving [Cmaj7]up?
Above the [Am]quiet there's a [Cmaj7/E]buzz
That's me trying
[G]You still working in that store [Cmaj7]on ventura?
You still going with--no, t[G]hat's not fair
I know I haven't been the very best [Cmaj7]of dads
I'll hold my hand up there
[G]The reason that I'm writing is that i'd like for [Cmaj7]us to meet
Get a little daughter dad action going soon
[Am]We can put things behind us
Eat some pizza, drink some beer
[Cmaj7]You still see your sister Lemli?
Bring her, too
[G]Years of silence, [Cmaj7]not enough
Who could [G]blame us giving [Cmaj7]up?
Above the [Am]quiet there's a [Cmaj7]buzz
That's me trying
[G] [Cmaj7]
But I don't want to talk about any of that bad stuff
[Dm]Why I missed out on your wedding and your high school graduation
[G]I'd like to explain, but I can't
[Dm]So let's keep things neutral
Stick to [G]topics that won't bug us
How 'bout this?
[Cmaj7]Let's choose a book and we'll read it before we meet
[C]Then we can sit down at a restaurant
Have a look at the menu and talk about it while we [Bbmaj7/F]eat
See, if we never had a problem
Then that's what life would be like
[G]Easy
Uncomplicated
[Cmaj7]Cool
So let's just pretend that the past didn't [G]happen
I don't really like thriller as well.[Cmaj7]
[G]I don't want to know if I've got grandchildren
no need to tell me [Cmaj7]where I went wrong
I don't want to know what happened i[G]n your thirties[Cmaj7/E]
You wanna try 'cold mountain'?
Or is that too long??
[G]Years of silence, not e[Cmaj7]nough
Who could [G]blame us giving [Cmaj7]up?
Above the [Am]quiet there's a [Cmaj7]buzz
That's me trying[G/Cmaj7/G/Am/Cmaj7/E]
I'm trying
