View chords used in this chart
D*
And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away
Like they are daily
Time passes in the constant state
 
G
So if that is how it is
Am G
I don't wanna be a star
F
But a stone on the shore
Dm7
A door frame in the wall
F Em
When everything's overgrown
 
D*
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along
 
The outro is different, rather than our D*:
 
F Em Dm7
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
(Em) F Em Dm7
And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along
