Then the rains they came, from thick unbroken clouds
And washed out all the names, from tired little towns
Yeah summer's gone away, to some California coast
Hey I don't mind I never saw around much anyway
But I cannot be still, it's coursing through my veins
The songs that never live, the songs that stayed the same
And they turned around the truth, and they knocked you off your feet
Yeah the world was on your back and you wouldn't carry that weight
Play these notes on the low E & A strings, it's a typical Ian walkup in G.
"captured their hearts"
Oh and Caroline you should
Have captured their hearts while you still could
But you threw it away, did you really think that you'd live forever?
Caroline
And one by one they fell, barely clinging to their names
Technology overflowing, flowing from their brains
Till nobody knew the words, nobody knew to sing
Nobody had the time to talk about it anyway
Oh and Caroline you should
Have captured their hearts while you still could
But you threw it away, did you really think that you'd live forever?
Caroline
Play these bass notes on the low E & A strings to walk into the bridge, similar to the chorus:
Yeah they all just sold
Yeah they all just sold you down the line
And you're looking for forgiveness every time you shut your eyes
Em (or Am)D Am
Oh but you're faded and old did they never tell you
Instrumental
Can't remember this off the top of my head, maybe
C C/B Am G D(?)
Oh, oh, oh,oh, yeah
Oh and Caroline you should
Have captured their hearts while you still could
But you threw it away, did you really think that you'd live forever?
Caroline
You should just throw it away
Do you really think that you'll live forever
Outro just alternates between G & C
Here are some of the chords:
