G        
I got your address from the phone book at the library
          Cmaj7
Wandered in, looked you up and you were there
G                                                          Cmaj7
Weird that you've been living, maybe, 2 miles away for the best part of 20 years
                    G
You must be, what, in your early forties now
             Cmaj7
If I remember,
                                 G
You were born in June or was it May?
                             Cmaj7 
Eisenhower was the president although it may have been JFK


G
Years of silence
    Cmaj7            G               Cmaj7
Not enough who could blame us giving up?
          Am              Cmaj7/E
Above the quiet there's a buzz

That's me trying


G                               Cmaj7
You still working in that store on ventura?
                           G
You still going with--no, that's not fair
                                    Cmaj7
I know I haven't been the very best of dads

I'll hold my hand up there
G                                                Cmaj7
The reason that I'm writing is that i'd like for us to meet

Get a little daughter dad action going soon
Am
We can put things behind us

Eat some pizza, drink some beer
Cmaj7
You still see your sister Lemli?

Bring her, too

Years of silence, not enough

          Am              Cmaj7
Above the quiet there's a buzz

G Cmaj7 


But I don't want to talk about any of that bad stuff
Dm
Why I missed out on your wedding and your high school graduation
G
I'd like to explain, but I can't
Dm
So let's keep things neutral
         G
Stick to topics that won't bug us



How 'bout this?
Cmaj7
Let's choose a book and we'll read it before we meet
C
Then we can sit down at a restaurant 
                                                   Bbmaj7/F
Have a look at the menu and talk about it while we eat

See, if we never had a problem

Then that's what life would be like
G
Easy

Uncomplicated
Cmaj7
Cool


                                           G
So let's just pretend that the past didn't happen
                                      Cmaj7
I don't really like thriller as well.
G                          
I don't want to know if I've got grandchildren
                   Cmaj7
no need to tell me where I went wrong
                                    G                Cmaj7/E
I don't want to know what happened in your thirties

You wanna try 'cold mountain'?

Or is that too long??


G                      Cmaj7
Years of silence, not enough
          G               Cmaj7
Who could blame us giving up?
          Am              Cmaj7
Above the quiet there's a buzz
                 G/Cmaj7/G/Am/Cmaj7/E
That's me trying
