From "Five Days In July" (1993)
(Greg Keelor, Jim Cuddy)
Tab By: Darragh Egan
Capo: 2nd Fret
INTRO: [D] [C] [D] [G] [Gsus4]
[C]Hey its me, what a big surprise
Calling you up from a restaurant round the [G]bend [Gsus4]
[C]Just got in from way up north
Aching and tired now, and I could use a [G]friend.
Might be a [Bm]fool to think that you [C]do wanna see me a[D]gain. [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus4]
I [C]know its been a while since I talked to you,
Nothing wrong, it's just nothing ever goes as [G]planned. [Gsus4]
[C]Many times I thought I'd call,
Didn't have your number in my [G]hand.
I know its [Bm]true, you'd never [C]do the same thing to [D]me [Dsus4]
CHORUS:
[D] I never [Dsus4]meant to make you [G]cry [Gsus4] [G]
And though I know I shouldn't [C]call,
It just reminds us of the [Am]cost
Of everything we've [D]lost
Bad timing that's [G]all.
And maybe soon there'll come a [G]day [Gsus4] [G]
When no more tears will [C]fall.
We each forgive a little [Am]bit,
Then we both look back on [D]it
As just bad timing that's [G]all.
INSTRUMENTAL: [C] [C] [G]
[C] [C] [G]
[Bm] [C] [D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus4]
[C]Used to have so many plans,
Something always seemed to turn out [G]wrong. [Gsus4]
[C]Never could catch up to you,
Moving on and doing all you've [G]done.
I don't know [Bm]why, the harder I [C]try, the harder it [D]comes [Dsus4]
CHORUS
We each forgive a little [Am]bit,
And we both look back on [D]it
As just bad timing that's [G]all.
OUTRO: [D] [C] [D] [G]
