Elliott Smith
Waltz #2 (XO)
XO (1998)

Tune down 1 step

(o x x)  x 4  puis  Am  x 4

Am  C/G  F  C/E  Dm/F  C/E  G7/D  C  b  w/ mélodie

Am  C/G  F  C/E  F  C/E  G7/D  (embarque)  C(/G)  b c...  e g g♯

Am(/E)               C(/G)           f♯
First the mic then a half cigarette
F       D7/F♯   G7(/D)
Singing Cathy's clown
           Dm(/A)               Am(/E)
That's the man she's married to now
B°(/F)                  E            E7
That's the girl that he takes around town

She appears composed so she is, I suppose
Who can really tell?
She shows no emotion at all
Stares into space like a dead China doll

  Am        C/G   F        C/E    (mélodie)
  I'm never gonna know you now
      Dm/F      C/E      G7/D
  But I'm gonna love you anyhow

Am  C/G  F  C/E  F  C/E  G7/D  C(/G)  b c...  e g g♯

Now she's done and they're calling someone
Such a familiar name
I'm so glad that my memory's remote
'Cause I'm doing just fine hour to hour note to note

Here it is, the revenge to the tune
You're no good
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Can't you tell that it's well understood?

  Refrain

Am  C/G  F  C/E  F  C/E  G7/D  C  c c♯

    Dm                   Fmaj7
    I'm here today and expected to stay
    C      G/B    Am
    On and on and on
        Dm         Fmaj7     Fmaj7
    I'm tired, I'm tired...

Looking out on the substitute scene
Still going strong
XO mom
It's okay, it's alright, nothing's wrong

Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans
To just leave me alone
In the place where I make no mistakes
In the place where I have what it takes

  Refrain  x 3  (embarque 2e)

Am  C/G  F  C/E  Dm/F  C/E  G7/D  C  w/ cordes
