A Will I have learned so very little F#m D When these bones are old and brittle? I wait to talk when I should listen And cloud mistakes with false revisions All my friends are forward-thinking Getting hitched and quitting drinking And I can feel them pulling away As I'm resigned to stay the same Chorus: F#m E A E Bm And you can't even begin to know F#m E A E Bm D How many times I've told myself "I told you so" I was once a loyal lover Whose lips did never seek another's And now each love's more like a match A blinding spark that burns out fast And they all conclude with the same sentence "I've never met someone more self-centered Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like Waiting for a bus to work" Chorus: And you can't even begin to know How many times I've told myself "I told you so" And you can't even begin to believe There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me F#m G If you deem it so D A Just cut the cord and go F#m G You'll be fine D E There's plenty of hills to climb You can't even begin to know How many times I've told myself "I told you so" And you can't even begin to believe There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  D  E  F#m  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
