Down

  step:

The intro of the song is D and Dsus4 with the

following riff played over the top it four times:

Then the first verse starts

(with intro riffx2 played over the top)

 Maybe the rain's holding off,

  (I'll just refer

Surely it knows, we're down here to this as

D riff now)

 Walking 'round barefoot lost

 Pretty soon these clouds have got to clear

 I know it's a lot

 Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop

 For a second so I could coax you to talk

(There could be a very quick G in here, I'm not sure)

  ^

 Think when we first layed eyes

 Didn't know who you were and then I was one more passerby

 You were the girl in the entryway, thats all that I knew but

 You were still in school and I was insecure

 I know it's a lot

 Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop

 For a second so I could coax you to talk

 About your dreams and orange soda tea leaves, tv, more....more

(If you don't like all the changes above you can just strum the F#m

the whole way though til 'more' but it doesn't sound as good)

 Looks like the rains holding off

 Might as well take this slow

 You know sometimes when I hold you in silence I listen real close

 Then I hear you talking to my soul

 Well I know it ain't half

 of this story I'm only meaning to ask

  riff etc

Just what would it take to coax you to laugh? To laugh, To laugh To laugh

Just play G over the following lines

What would it

What would it D

What would it take you to laugh?

Repeat the above twice, then

I'm not too sure on the ending but I'll give it a go

 Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

 Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

 Na na na na na na na

Then play D (plus the riff a few times) till

the end.
