       D                               Bm7 G
I've driven round in circles for three hours
         D                         Bm7     G
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at yours
   D                         Bm7             G
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
     D                              Bm7        G
I thought that I would give it just one more chance

Chorus:
       D       Bm7 G                 D        Bm7 G
Cos I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for
        D      Bm7 G                 D        Bm7 G
But I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about

You think you are complicated, deep mystery to all
Well, it's taken me a while to see, you're not so
special
All energy, no meaning with a lot of words
So paper thin that one real feeling could knock you
down

Chorus:
And I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about
I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind

So see you when you're 40, lost and all alone
Being comforted by strangers you'll never need to
know
Not sad because you lost me
But sad because you thought it was cool to be sad

You think misery will make you stand apart from the
crowd
Well if you had walked past me today I wouldn't
have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out

Chorus:
Now I've seen, tonight, how could I waste my time?
And I'll be on my way, and I won't be back
Cause I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned
about
You're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming
back

And I'm not coming back
What I'd been warned about
