C                      Am                   Em
It doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you
C                      Am         Em
It doesn't matter if I live or die
C                           Am                Em
It doesn't matter that your boyfriend left you
                Dm              G     F
And that summer only lasted one day


[Verse 2]
C                          Am                        Em
I'm in the mirror with the Rickenbacker twelve string
C                      Am               Em
My good friend who can really understand
C                  Am                   Em
But everyone's got relationship problems
                  Dm                               G    F
I would surely go wrong with you, but why wouldn't I?


[Verse 3]
C                      Am                   Em
It doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you
C                      Am         Em
It doesn't matter if I live or die
C                         Am                       Em
I'm in the mirror with my best friend twelve string
             Dm                           G        F
The day that you will love me, will never arrive


[Chorus]
Am             G
We were almost it
Dm        F
We almost went somewhere
Am           G              Dm
Charm of the tear-down left behind
Am              G
Not to be who I am
Dm             F
Takes a lot of work this time
Am           G             Dm
To lock everything back up inside


[Verse 4]
C                   Am                   Em
Doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you
C                   Am         Em
Doesn't matter if I live or die
C                         Am                         Em
I'm in the mirror with my best friend's twelve string
                  Dm
Trying to worship sixties California
              G            F
In our not so contemporary ways


[Verse 5]
C                     Am                   Em
Everybody's got their heart in a wheelchair
C                      Am        Em
And now I finally come up for air
C                   Am                 Em
The lazy eye of the sun comes up slowly
              Dm                    G      F
And a million candle-lit cities disappear


[Verse 6]
C                   Am                   Em
Doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you
C                      Am         Em
It doesn't matter if I live or die
C                        Am                Em
Doesn't matter that your boyfriend left you

Aaaahh, Aaaah
               Dm                      G     F  C
But it doesn't matter that I love your smile
