DOWN A

The simplification probably won't work on a guitar, but maybe it will.

Anyway, here is the COMPLETE AND UNSIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THE SONG

TUNE YOUR GUITAR DOWN A SEMITONE (though I don't, and it sounds fine.)

Intro

I know what you want

I wanna take you to a midnight show tonight

If you can keep a secret

I've got a blanket in the backseat on my mind,

And a little place that sits beneath the sky.

She turned her face to speak,

I know there's a hope.

There's too many people trying to help me cope.

You've got a real short skirt,

I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah, yeah.

We were just in time,

Let me take a little more off your mind.

There's something in my head,

Somewhere in the back said:

We were just a good thing, we were such a good thing.

Make it go away without a word.

But promise me you'll stay,

and fix these things I've hurt.

-mute strings----- Em7 Em7/B

Oh make it go away, oh----.

Drive faster, boy----, yeah, oh no,

Solo

A crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl.

With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls.

I took my baby's breath, beneath the chandelier.

Of stars in atmosphere,

And watched her disappear, into the midnight show----

A-faster, a-faster, a-faster, a-faster, faster, a-faster,

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,

No, no, no, no, no.

If you can keep a secret,

Well baby I can keep, you can keep a secret.

If you can keep a secret, I can keep a secret.

If you can keep a secret,

Well baby I can keep, you can keep a secret.
