Tab annotated by Richard Grosser (grosserr@gmail.com)

This has been transcribed as I couldn't find any chord tabs that authentically

captured Chrissie's rhythm guitar on this song.

TUNING:

Standard Tuning.

Intro:

Verse 1:

It's such a drag, to want something sometime,

One thing leads to another, I know.

Was a time I wanted you for mine, nobody knew.

You arrived like the day, passed like a cloud,

I made a wish. I said it out loud,

'Loud in a cr-o-wd. Everybody he-a-rd,

'Twas the talk of the town.

Verse 2:

It's not my place to know what you feel,

I'd like to know but why should I.

Who were you then, who are you n-o-w.

Common labourer by night, by day highbrow

Back in my room, I wondered then I

Sit on the bed, look at the sky,

Up in the sky, clouds rearrange

Like the talk of the town.

Chorus:

Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday.

You've changed, your place in this world.

Verse 3:

Oh, but it's hard to live by the rules,

I never could, and still never do.

The rules and such never bothered you,

You call the shots and they follow.

I watch you still from a distance then go

Back to my room, you never know.

I want you, I want you but now,

It's the talk of the town.

Repeat Chorus:

Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday.

You've changed, your place in this world.

(End)
