I know that Asus2/G# is not the right "spelling" for that chord, but I have
no idea what the real name for that chord is ! I only know it's right because
I watched the DVD that comes with the Everything to Everyone CD.



1st Verse
---------

Asus2 E  Asus2              E
Oh,   I - I watch it all go down
Asus2  E      Asus2            E
Closed eyes - pretend noone's around
Asus2  Asus2/G#  Asus2               E
So        I -    I chose to play the clown
Asus2 Asus2/G#  Asus2       Bsus4
Or blow by and never make a sound

Chorus
------
E         Bsus4 C#sus4                    Asus2
Any other guy         would wanna take it outside
        E          Bsus4 C#sus4                        Asus2
But I'd never even try          who wants to get their lights knocked out?
E         Bsus4 C#sus4                     Asus2
Any other guy          would wanna stir it up some,
        Asus2/G# Asus2  Bsus4
But I'd rather   say goodbye

2nd Verse
---------
Asus2 E       Asus2        E
Turn 'round - say it to my face
Asus2 E       Asus2          E
No    sound - Everything's a race
Asus2 Asus2/G# Asus2          E
Lose  ground - lost in your embrace
Asus2 Asus2/G# Asus2         Bsus4
Leave town -   never leave a trace

C#sus4 Asus2     E          Bsus4
Hardly know what anything's for
C#sus4   Asus2     E            Bsus4
Just for show, I'm slamming the door
C#sus4     Asus2  E            Bsus4       Asus2
      Even so, my heart and my head are an open book
