- ":)" = (x) (o) 2 (o) 2 1 (A7addF)

- I like the Dmaj7 instead of the Bm7 in the verse

- I plead the fifth (position) for the A after the :)

Verse 1

]

Wouldn't it be nice if we were close

Or pretending that we were could kill the ghost

Maybe I'd cooperate but I'm done

(orDmaj7)

That's not breaking news, you cannot

Turn the volume down as you choose

Somewhere in a house across the sea

Maybe in a distant memory

Now and then you'd reappear out of nowhere

Like some ricochet now you wade

Against the current in our old bay

Shimmering underneath the sea

Sentimental echoes sparked by memory

:) :)

Hard to make believe nothing means anything to me

[[Tranny]]

Verse 2

]

Rehashing the wounded patriarch

On a tattered throne with a broken heart

From a home where you don't earn your stripes

(orDmaj7)

You have to demand your rights

But you'll never win if you try

Bridge

]

But in some corridor

Flickers a poor stubborn light

I can't put it out or burn it down

I cannot turn this ship around, around

We're almost emptied out

Sentimental echoes cynical with doubt

:) :)

Hard to make believe nothing means anything to me
