Note: Jon plays a little figure in certain
portions of the song alternating between
A and Asus2 and D and Dsus2. For the
purpose of this tab I will mark them
as A* and D* respectively. Just listen
and you will figure it out.
Intro:
* * * *
Verse 1:
* *
oil tankers and the national guard
*
I came to meet you but I camped out in your yard
why turn the key
there's so much here to see
these are my memories
Chorus 1:
of precious places and precious things
that were meaningless before
* * * *
We'd seen them together
Verse 2:
* *
Old hinges squeaking in the rain
*
That hotel by the highway where we stayed
There's something every hour
Who needs the Eiffel tower
When we've got memories
Chorus 2:
Of precious places, precious things
That were meaningless before
* *
We'd seen them together
Bridge:
The pen, the car, the paint, the peel
The moon and star, the message clear
Liberty raised her hand to us
As if to say its ok
Live today, live today
Verse 3:
* *
I said don't leave me don't break the tie
*
Then I left you and time went rolling by
Now here's what I can't stand
I know that every landmark
Triggers memories
Chorus 3:
Of stupid places and silly things
That were meaningless before
We'd seen them together
Meaningless before
We'd seen them together
They were meaningless before
* * *
We'd seen them together
* * *
* * *
* * *

but, hey, at least you got the chords.
