VERSE:
~~~~~~
 
Bsus2          Bm
The lanes were silent
 
          Dsus2              Esus2                   F# A5 A#5 Bsus2
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
 
                         Bsus2
I doused our friendly venture
 
       Dsus2      Esus2
With a hard-faced three-word gesture
 
 
CHORUS:
~~~~~~~
 
C#m7                   C#7
I started something, I forced you to a zone
 
             D7      E7    F7          F#
And you were clearly never meant to go
 
C#m7
Hair brushed and parted
 
        C#7
Typical me, typical me, typical me
 
          D7
I started something
 
    E7      F7           F# A5 A#5 Bsus2
And now I'm not too sure

                  The lanes were silent
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
I doused our friendly venture
With a hard-faced, three-word gesture

I started something, I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something and now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by guilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And I doused another venture with a gesture
That was absolutely vile

I started something, I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something and now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by guilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And now eighteen months' hard labor
Seems fair enough

I started something and I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something and now I'm not too sure

I started something, I started something
Typical me, typical me, typical me, typical me
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something and now I'm not too sure

Okay, Stephen? Do that again?
