Standard turning, capo 3
his guitar is off tune, so you'll need to adjust it slightly higher pitched if you want to play along!

G C riff x3

G
toward the end of our first year in las vegas
C
you looked up from your little corner
G
and i saw that your face was getting a little brighter
        C
and you asked me is it really getting warmer
   G
or is it just me
Em                            Cmaj7           C
and then you started mumbling      unintelligibly
                   G     Cadd9      G
so what are you saying           anyway?


G
i thought i heard bells ringing
                             C
but then i remembered that i no longer knew what bells sounded like
G
i thought maybe we'd strike up a conversation
C
'till bad luck cruised by on his ten-speed bike
     G
i got real cold
Em
and i grabbed my coat
      Cmaj7                    C
and i saw that the ringing was coming from your throat
             G        Cadd9    G
what are you saying           anyway?
