Lyrics/Song Structure

PLay main riff over:

"So we meet again!" and I offer my hand

All dry and English slow

And you look at me and I understand

Yeah it's a look I used to know

"Three long years... and your favourite man...

Is that any way to say hello?"

And you hold me... like you'll never let me go

This part is a synth or something, can play it like this:

 1-------------------|
 2-------------------|
 3-------11------11--| x8 over main riff
 4---/12-----/12-----|
 5-----0-------0-----|
 6-------------------|

Main riff again over:

"Oh c'mon and have a drink with me

Sit down and talk a while..."

"Oh I wish I could... and I will!

But now I just don’t have the time..."

And over my shoulder as I walk away

I see you give that look goodbye...

I still see that look in your eye...

On the chorus play between these chords:

 1--0---0----|
 2--0---2----|

3--0---2----| strum a bunch of times

 4--2---2----|
 5--2---0----|
 6--0--------|

So dizzy Mr. Busy - Too much rush to talk to Billy

All the silly frilly things have to first get done

In a minute - sometime soon - maybe next time - make it June

Until later... doesn't always come

Main riff over:

It's so hard to think "It ends sometime

And this could be the last

I should really hear you sing again

And I should really watch you dance"

Because it's hard to think

"I'll never get another chance

To hold you... to hold you... "

Chorus chords:

But chilly Mr. Dilly - Too much rush to talk to Billy

All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done

In a second - just hang on - all in good time - wont be long

Until later...

On the bridge play:

 1---------0------------0----|
 2---------3------------2----|
 3-------0------------0------| repeat
 4-----0------------2--------|
 5---2------------0----------|
 6---------------------------|

I should've stopped to think - I should've made the time

I could've had that drink - I could've talked a while

I would've done it right - I would've moved us on

But I didn't - now it's all too late

It's over... over

And you're gone..

PLay main riff:

I miss you I miss you I miss you

I miss you I miss you I miss you so much

But how many times can I walk away and wish "If only..."

But how many times can I talk this way and wish "If only..."

Keep on making the same mistake

Keep on aching the same heartbreak

I wish "If only..."

But "If only...."

Is a wish too late...

Here's the little "guitar solo that shows up a few times:

 1------------------------------------------------------|
 2-----------------------------------------7-------7----|
 3---7--7-6-----7--7-6--------7--7-7-7--9-----7--9------|
 4----------7----------7--------------------------------|
 5------------------------------------------------------|
 6------------------------------------------------------|

End on this chord:

 1--0----|
 2--10---|
 3--0----|
 4--7----|
 5--0----|
 6-------|

I'm sure that this is 100% correct...

Hope it helps you out.

Peace.
