D A Bm D
See saw, up and down
Bm D Asus4 A D A
Around and round we go
D A Bm D
Too late we`re out on the rink
Bm D Asus4 A D A
Our love`s in the sink once more.
C5 F5
And when I`m walking down a rainy street
B5 E5
I think I hear you coming up to me
A5 D5 E5 Asus4 A D A
But it`s just an echo I`ve arranged to meet
D A Bm D
Freefall, we`re out of control
Bm D Asus4 A D A
We never will know what went wrong
D A Bm D
Too bad, what we had for a while
Bm D Asus4 A D A
Has gone out of style this year
C5 F5
Your friends told me you moved out of town
B5 E5
I got your address and I wrote it down
A5 D5 E5
I used the pen that you bought for my birthday
B C
And every suit you know reminded me of you
B C Asus4 A D A
I realised that we`d never be together again
D A Bm D Bm D Asus4 A D A
D5 (fig.1)
Wait a while, reclaim your loss
But it costs a lot your love
D A Bm D
Take five, your heels in time (this verse
Bm D Asus4 A with fig.3)
You`ll feel just fine they say
D A
But I`m feeling
D A Bm D
See saw, in a way I`m glad
Bm D Asus4 A D A
Though I still feel sad about you
C5 F5
I know it`s too late for changing minds
B5 E5
And I`m still not sure I wanna change mine
A5 D5
It`s just a tiny part that sits there
E5 Asus4 A D A
This ain`t right (?)
D A Bm D
See saw, up and down
Bm D
Around and round
Bm D
They say heels in time
Bm D
They say you`ll feel just fine
Bm D
In a way I`m glad
Bm D
Though I still feel sad
Bm A D
About losing you
Bm A D
`Bout losing you
Bm A D
`Bout losing you
Bm A G Fm D
`Bout losing you once more
