Tuning: E A D G B E
I'm a new player, so bar chords are immpossible for me. I designed this to avoid bar chords but still retain
more of the complexity that can get lost when you just use "simplify" on some of the more difficult tabs.
Don't be scared of by the suspended chords, the fingers are easy, you just have to learn them from the charts.
I have two chords in parentheses () in the final chorus. Sara does that part a capella, but it sounds too
empty to me without any drum, etc. so I prefer to add those chords in to keep the sound full.
A few chord notes:
Bm7 - use x20202 to avoid the bar
Esus2 - Use 002202 which makes the transitions on that line really easy to finger
[Verse 1]
GBy the time you Ahear this, Bm7I'll be in the rearview mGirror
GI'll even wear that gAreen dress you lBm7ike so when I disappGear
GYou can turn arouAnd, one last lBm7ook at the girl you lAost in time you Gtook
GTo make up Ayour mind Bm7 between two rGoads
GGo and take some Amore time, Bm7but me and mine must Ggo
[Pre-Chorus]
GI tried to wait it out,A no more
Bm7Can't find the man I was wAaiting for
[Chorus]
GI wanted to be your girl iAn a white T-shirt
Over Asus2coffee, stirrGing in the cinnamon
GWhile you Aread meBm7 poetry by Asus2dead Esus2men G
GI wanted to be your girl with your Ahands on my skin Asus2
GStirring in the cinnamon
GWhile you read me Bm7poetry by dGead men
G(While you rAead me Bm7poetry by Asus2dead mEsus2en)
GWhile you read me pBm7oetry by Gdead men
[Verse 2]
GBy the time you Ahear this, Bm7who knows where I might Gbe
GSinging 'bout another Anear-miss Bm7love that ended incompGlete
GI was ready, but Ayou weren't
So jBm7ump with your net from this Asus2bridge you burned
GI wanted to tell you things
AsusAll the secrets I've been keeping
GI saw it in front of me, A but then you just kept disappearing
[Pre-Chorus]
GA good dream, Aalmost
Bm7Now I tell yAsus2our ghost
[Chorus]
GI wanted to be your girl in a Awhite T-shirt
Over Asus2coffee, Gstirring in the cinnamon
GWhile you rAead me pBm7oetry by Asus2dead Esus2men G
GI wanted to be your girl with your Ahands on my skin Asus2
GStirring in the cinnamon

GWhile you read me pBm7oetry by Gdead men
[Bridge]
ALine after line, the words just Gserve to remind
The two of us, Asus2oh, what we could have been
PGoetry by G/Bdead men
AFire from ember, how could I Gmake you remember?
With a Emturn of a phrase, would you tGurn to me if I say
I Dsusstill want to be your girl?
[Chorus]
Dsus (G) (A)
I still want to be your girl in a white T-shirt
