You Again
© 2001 Bryan Masters


D  A7  D  A7


      D
I’m standing on a chair
          A7                   D    A7
In the middle of a very nice room
            D     A7    D  A7
Changing a light bulb
           D                          A7
And I haven't thought about you for weeks and weeks
          D    A7
And I'm still not
               D      A7  D  A7
And life is delightful
        G                         A              G
Then the telephone rings and the caller ID says you


So I pick up the phone and
I say hello
When all I'm really thinking is
"Oh my God, it's you again"
And I draw a sharp breath and make an involuntary noise
And I hear you laughing
at the other end
And you say "Are you okay?
And is hello
All you really wanna say?"
(and I said)


D      A        Em
Oh My God it's you again
                    D
I never changed my lock
                    A
I never changed my number
                  G
Never changed my mind


Never thought I'd
 A
See you again
         D        A
I wanna turn back time
      Em
And just pretend
              G              A
Wish I could fall head over heels
         D
For you again


So I pull up a chair
And I light a cigarette
And you say
"Do you remember..."
And we talk for hours
Of rapture and regret
And rainbow comets and embers
There's a chemical science
To the digital silence
of your cell phone


So I hang up thinking 'bout
You and me and the fireflies
That's dangerous country
And I try to remember
One thing that I hate about you
And that still leaves me wonderin'
'Cause all I can remember
Is your smile and
Your swimming pool eyes


  D
Three days later you're
  A7
In my house
     D
And three days later you're
  A7
In my bed
     D
And three days later you're
   A7
Still not crazy
   D                      A7
Three days later I'm in love again
     G
My head and my heart
         A                 G
Have a duel every day at dawn
