This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Actually in F; capo 5.
[Use the tablature at the end of this file for chord fingerings
and picking pattern.]
[spoken:] In this song, I attempt to take back everything I said while
standing in a phone booth on the corner of 49th and 3rd.
Intro: arpeggio C chord.
C E Am Am/G
I didn't mean it when I said I hope the cable in the elevator
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C G
snaps when you step on board
E E Am Am
And I was joking when I said I hope you crack your head
D/A D/A G - Gsus G5
And get mangled by the downstairs revolving door
C E Am Am/G
And I was kidding when I said I hope the number 103 bus
F F C G
Hits and makes a pancake out of you
Am Am E E
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
F G C G
Isn't it amazing what a woman in love will do?
And I don't really want to see your taxi on the 59th street bridge
Flip over and crash through the rail
And I'd feel bad if at the airport you were mistaken for a local
sex offender
Arrested, beaten up, and thrown in jail
And I really don't want to see you getting radiation poisoning from
the metal detector
That all passengers on foreign and domestic flights must walk through
I'm sorry, forgive me
For all the mean things I said to you
E E Am Am
You thought I didn't have a temper
E E Am Am
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, surprise
E E Am Am
But I really don't want to see you dismembered by the marijuana-
sniffing dogs
D/A D/A G - Gsus G5
When a simple little nipping would suffice, would suffice
And I'm sorry that I said I hope the plane explodes in mid-air
As it carries you away from me
And I'm sorry that I said I hope you break both legs
On the mountain while you ski
And I'm sorry for all the nasty things I said about your mother
Even though we both know they're true
Am Am E E
I'm sorry, forgive me
Am Am E E
I'm swallowing my pride, I'd feel so guilty if you died
F C - G C - F C.
Oh I'm sorry, but I'm still mad at you.
TAB:
[This tablature isn't _exactly_ what Christine plays in any
particular verse; it's a combination of what I thought were the
best-sounding parts from all the verses.]
