Am G E

C           D            G
Stalling at intersections
        Em                C
Waiting for the lights to turn
            D              G        E
To flashing as they always seem to do
C                 D
When it’d be much simpler to
G         Em        C D G E
Well it seems to me

(Intro again and continues through verse, 
optional chords)

    C G              Am
But I didn’t mean it that way 
        C     G                Am   C
I’m just not great at a lot of things
        G         Am              C G Am C
Turn to sleep for something better
      G              Am
But I didn’t mean it that way
(Skippy I’d like to get myself up before)
       C      G                Am   C
I’m just not great at a lot of things
(Quiet time in the parking lot)
(When dirty pennies make clean crack up)
         G        Am              C G Am C
Turn to sleep for something better
(Take it all just to have his feelings shut)

G E

C           D          G
Stalling at intersections
Em                        C
Waiting for the lights to turn to flashing
D             G        E
As they always seem to do it 
C            D       G
It’d be much simpler to
Em                    C D G E
Well, it seems to me that,,,

    C 
The first time that I thought we met 
      G
I had only dirty clothes 
            Am
And we were sitting in the attic room
F                                C
Feeling out eachothers’ finger puppets
              G                    Am
Searching for some small sense of control
     F
Over anything 
C      G            Am     F
Was it all wishful thinking?

(PM the following)
C       G                  Am
Carefully placed road lines
F   C     G       Am            F
I’m overcharging my credit card again
C           G                      Am F
‘All worth it in the end’ They said
C                       G
Just one thread has torn
                               Am
It’s all there is to notice anymore
                    F
Just one thread has torn
                                  C G Am F
It’s all they’ll ever notice anymore
C       G                 Am
Carefully set thought lines 
     F
I’m now
C      G        Am    F
Overtaxing this car again
C     G               Am     F
Spare parts a part of you now
C      G
Spare parts
      Am      F
Apart from you 

Pt 2 intro closes the song at a faster pace.
