VERSE 1
[Em]If only you'd had known me [Gadd9]before the accident
[Em]For with that grand collision,[Gadd9] came a grave consequence
[Em]Receptors overloaded, [Gadd9]they burst and disconnect
[Em]'Til there was little feeling, [Gadd9]please work with what is left
BREAK: Em / Em / Asus / Asus* / Am / Am7 / Am / Am7
VERSE 2
[Em]Oh I need not be flattered [Gadd9]that you've never been here before
[Em]So there's no need to mention [Gadd9]that you've no firsts anymore
[Em]But if you let me be your skyline,[Gadd9] I'll let you be the wave
[Em]That reduces me to rubble that [Gadd9]looked safe from far away
CHORUS
[C/G]I don't know why I don't know why
[Em]I return to the scenes of these crimes
[C/G]Where the hedgerows slowly wind
[Em]Through the ghosts of Beverly Drive
[C/G]I don't know why I don't know why
[Em]I don't know what I expect to find
[C/G]Where all the news is second hand
[Am]And everything just goes on as planned
BREAK: Em / Em / Asus / Asus* / Am / Am7 / Am / Am7

You wanna teach but not be taught
Em Gadd9 (hammer on D string 2nd fret)
And I wanna sell but not be bought
[Em]So let us not be lonesome, [Gadd9]let us not be lonesome
[Em]Lost in between our needs a[Gadd9]nd wants
CHORUS
[C/G]I don't know why I don't know why
[Em]I return to the scenes of these crimes
[C/G]Where the hedgerows slowly wind
[Em]Through the ghosts of Beverly Drive

[Em]I don't know what I expect to find
[C/G]Where all the news is second hand
[Am]And everything just goes on as planned
