Dido - see you when you're 40
Life For Rent, 2003
Track #5/11


[Bm]
I've driven round in circles for three hours
it was bound to happen that I'd up at yours
I temporarily forgot that there's better days to come
I thought that I would give you just one more chance

cos I [Em7]want, tonight, what I've been [D]waiting for
but I [Em7]found, tonight, what I'd been [D]warned about

[Bm]
you think you are complicated, deep mystery to all
well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
all energy no meaning, with a lot of words
so paper thin that one real feeling could knock you down

and I've [Em7]seen, tonight, what I'd been [D]warned about
I'm gonna [Em7]leave, tonight, before I [D]change my mind

[Bm]
so see you when you're 40, lost and all alone
being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
not sad because you lost me
but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad

you think misery will make you stand out from the crowd
well if you had walked past me today
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out

now I've [Em7]seen, tonight, how could I [D]waste my time
and I'll be [Em7]on my way and I [D]won't be back
cos I've [Em7]seen, tonight, what I've been [D]warned about
you're just a [Em7]boy, not a man, and I'm not [D]coming back
