D A Bm D
See saw, up and down
Bm D Asus4 A D A
Around and round we go
D A Bm D
Too late we're out on the rink
Bm D Asus4 A D A
Our love's in the sink once more.
C#5 F#5
And when I'm walking down a rainy street
B5 E5
I think I hear you coming up to me
A5 D5 E5 Asus4 A D A
But it's just an echo I've arranged to meet
D A Bm D
Freefall, we're out of control
Bm D Asus4 A D A
We never will know what went wrong
D A Bm D
Too bad, what we had for a while
Bm D Asus4 A D A
Has gone out of style this year
C#5 F#5
Your friends told me you moved out of town
B5 E5
I got your address and I wrote it down
A5 D5 E5
I used the pen that you bought for my birthday
B C
And every suit you know reminded me of you
B C Asus4 A D A
I realised that we'd never be together again
D A Bm D Bm D Asus4 A D A
D5 (fig.1)
Wait a while, reclaim your loss
But it costs a lot your love
D A Bm D
Take five, your heels in time (this verse
Bm D Asus4 A with fig.3)
You'll feel just fine they say
D A
But I'm feeling
D A Bm D
See saw, in a way I'm glad
Bm D Asus4 A D A
Though I still feel sad about you
C#5 F#5
I know it's too late for changing minds
B5 E5
And I'm still not sure I wanna change mine
A5 D5
It's just a tiny part that sits there
E5 Asus4 A D A
This ain't right (?)
D A Bm D
See saw, up and down
Bm D
Around and round
Bm D
They say heels in time
Bm D
They say you'll feel just fine
Bm D
In a way I'm glad
Bm D
Though I still feel sad
Bm A D
About losing you
Bm A D
'Bout losing you
Bm A D
'Bout losing you
Bm A G F#m D
'Bout losing you once more
