SEE YOU WHEN YOU'RE 40 - Dido
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capo 2nd fret
I've driven round in circles for three hours 
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at yours
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance
Cos I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for  
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
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
Now I've seen, tonight, how could I waste my time  
And I'll be on my way, and I won't be back  
Cos I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about 
You're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back
