Tuning: Open D + capo 2nd fret (= Open E)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The song is played in Open E tuning. This means you have to tune up the A
and the D string up one note and the G string up one semi tone. I don't
like tuning strings up that much, as I sometimes tend to break strings.
I'd suggest to tune strings down, using Open D, and then using a capo on
the 2nd fret to bring it back to Open E:
tuning: Open D (D-A-D-F#-A D)
capo: 2nd fret (sounds: E-B E-G#-B E = Open E)
key: E
I included voicings for standard tuning, too, if you don't want to retune.

[Intro]
| Emaj7 A/B | E |
[Verse 1]
Emaj7 Our conversationA6 was short and sweet
Emaj7 It nearly swept meA6 off-a my feet
And I’m Emaj7back in the rain, mmh, A6mmh
And you are on dry Emaj7land, mmh, A6mmh
You made it there someF#m7how
B6 A/B E Esus4 E | B |
You’re a big girl now
[Verse 2]
Emaj7 Bird on the horizon,A6 sittin’ on a fence
Emaj7 He’s singin’ his song for meA6 at his own expense
And I’m Emaj7just like that bird, ah, A6ah
Singin’ just for Emaj7you, mmh, A6mmh
I hope that you can F#m7hear
B6 A/B E Esus4 E | B |
Hear me singin’ through these tears
[Verse 3]
Emaj7 Love is so simpleA6, to quote a phrase
Emaj7 You’ve known it all the time,A6 I’m learnin’ it these days
Oh, I Emaj7know where I can find you, oh, A6oh
In somebody’s Emaj7room, mmh, A6mmh
It’s a price I have to F#m7pay
B6 A/B E Esus4 E | B |
You’re a big girl all the way
[Verse 4]
Emaj7 Time is a jet plane,A6 it moves too fast
Emaj7 Oh, but what a shame if A6all we’ve shared can’t last
I can Emaj7change, I swear, mmh, A6mmh
See what you can Emaj7do, mmh, A6mmh
I can make it F#m7through
B6 A/B E Esus4 E | B |
You can make it too
[Verse 5]
Emaj7 A change in the weatherA6 can be extreme
Emaj7 But it ain’t like changing A6horses in midstream
I’m going Emaj7out of my mind, mmh, A6mmh
With a pain that stops and Emaj7starts, ah, A6ah
Like a corkscrew to my F#m7heart
B6 A/B E Esus4 E | B |
Ever since we’ve been apart
