Bm      F#
I write songs
A           E
Based on my life
G               D
The funny thing is
                 C#
They're based on my
     F#
Real life
Bm
Same people
     F#
Same places
A          E
Same circumstances
G                   D
I change things sometimes
    C#
But mostly
     F#
It's real

[Chorus]
         G
It's all factual
   D
Oh yeh
             C
At least it's based in fact
     G
It's actual
   D
Oh yeah
            C
No, I don't want you back

[Verse 2]
Bm                   F#
Swimming an ocean of time
A               E
no one can find us
G                        D
kissing the palm of your hand
         C#            F#
y'know I remember everything
Bm                    F#
All the whispers of a memory
A                         E
gather your thoughts in a line
G                  D
they go on forever living
    C#
one day at a time
           F#
clinging together

[Chorus]
         G
It's all factual
   D
Oh yeh
             C
At least it's based in fact
     G
It's actual
   D
Oh yeah
            C

[Verse 3]
G
Over and over
    D
the memories play
           C
and I will follow you down
G
run to the edge
          D
where the memories play
           C
and I will follow you down

{Bridge]
D                          C
One afternoon when we went missing
D                             C
her older sister had a lot of questions

Over over over

[Chorus]
         G
it's all factual
   D
oh yeh
                 C
oh at least it's based in fact
           G
it's circumstantial
   D
oh yeah
           C
no I don't want you back
G
Over and over
    D
the memories play
           C
and I will follow you down
