This song is actually pretty simple, its just E and A. Ive found it sounds
best when played with a capo at the 4th fret, which would make the E into
a C shape and the A into an F shape.. hope thats not too confusing, I play
it like this:
 
(All relative to capo at 4)
 
	E (C/G shape)     A (F shape)  and  E2
 
	x                 x                 3
	1                 1                 5
	0                 2                 5
	2                 3                 5
	3                 3                 3
	3                 x                 x
 
On the intro it sounds good to play only on the 5th, 4th, and 3rd
strings of that E.

Oh there'll be time - to get by - to get dry - after the swimming pool
 
Oh there'll be time - to just cry - i wonder why - it didnt work out
 
Oh therell be time - to fish fry - for letters by - yours truly
 
Yours truly
 
 
E    A

E    A
     Someone in my dictionary's up to no good
  E
I never find the very special words I should
     A
So I have another party with a water glass
      E
and I sit on all your actions its a birthday game
and I'll bet he needs a shower cause hes just like me
and the soldiers in the painting know your secret fate
Well your parrot told me just how I can make you smile
Gonna let you do your thinking if you need awhile but
what I gave you made him get mad
A little bit funny how a thing like that
Could travel from one mouth in through another
and the next thing you know you gotta hear it from your brother and
The words they sting like a stump of old wasps
Remember when I said go throw the rock in there
and we ran through the woods to our good house
You forgot about the things that he could say like
I dont think that I like you anymore
Well I found new feelings at the feeling store
and I cant find you at our kissing place
and im scared of those new pair of eyes you have so
 
A                                           E2
I duck out and go down to find the swimming pooooooooool
      A                                                            E
Hop a fence, leave the street and wet my feet I'll find a swimming pool
           A                                              E2
Cause when I'm snuffed out I doubt I'll find the swimming pool
      A                                                            E
Hop a fence, leave the street and wet my feet to find the swimming pool
 
But I don't wish that I was dead
A very old friend of mine once said
that either way you look at it you have your fits
I have my fits but feeling is good
But confusions not a candy store in my brain
but we're miscommunicating do we feel the same?
Then either way you look at it you have your fits
I have my fits but feeling is good
 
I duck out and go down to find the swimming pool
Hop a fence, leave the street and wet my feet I'll find a swimming pool
Cause when I'm snuffed out I doubt I'll find the swimming pool
Hop a fence, leave the street and wet my feet to find the swimming pool
 
You gotta give a little, you gotta get a little bit
