Standard (EADGBE)

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me

Oh things are gonna happen naturally

And taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side

And balancing the whole thing

But often times those words get tangled up in lines

And the bright light turns to night

Until the dawn it brings

 Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Chorus 1

Cause you and I both loved

 What you and I spoke of

 What others just dream of

 Others only read of the love that I love

 See I'm all about them words

 Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words

 Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards

 More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Chorus 2

Cause you and I both loved

 What you and I spoke of

 and others just read of and if you could see now oh love love

Bridge 1

Now you and I, you and I

 Not so little you and I anymore

And with this silence brings a moral story

 more importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Chorus 3

you and I both loved

 what you and I spoke of

 and others just read of and if you could see me now

 well I'm almost finally out of

Finally out of etc... ad lib

Bridge 2

(half tempo slow)

and it's okay if you have go away

just remember the telephones they working both ways

and if I never ever hear it ring

(regular tempo)

if nothing else I'll think the bells inside

 have finally found you someone else and that's okay

 cause I'll remember everything you sang

Chorus 3

you and I both loved

 what you and I spoke of

 and others just read of and if you could see now

 well I'm almost finally out of words.

Finally out of... etc ad lib
