Intro: Dsus2
Verse 1:
Dsus2
Do you ever get the feeling
That we started in the middle
D/B
Or have you ever had the sense
That we've been lying just a little
Gmaj7
I mean come on
D/B Asus4
It's not like we've known ourselves that long
Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7 G6
Verse 2:
Dsus2
And I can’t say I really blame you
For being bored with the beginning
D/B
Always staring at the score
Just to figure out who's barely winning
Gmaj7
But don’t you know
D/B Asus4
There is a reason strong, move slow
Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7 G6
Pre-chorus:
D/B
And I'm okay
A
If you're okay with
Gmaj7
Wasting time
D/B
But when you trace
Asus4 Gmaj7
You always see the bottom line
Chorus:
Dsus2
We are tracing
D/B
I hope you know
Gmaj7
We are tracing
Verse 3:
Dsus2
And if you want to know the moment
I knew that I was still alone
D/B
I found I never learned your number
I only stored it in my phone
Gmaj7
You'd think by now
D/B Asus2
I'd know the shape of calling home
Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7 G6
Pre-chorus:
D/B
And I'm okay
A
If you're okay with
Gmaj7
Wasting time
D/B
But when you trace
Asus4 Gmaj7
You always see the bottom line
Last chorus:
Dsus2
We are tracing
D/B
I hope you know
Gmaj7
We are tracing
D/B Asus4
We're both alone
Dsus2
We are tracing
D/B
We are tracing
Em9 A7 (11)
Verse 1:
Dsus2
Do you ever get the feeling
That we started in the middle
D/B
Or have you ever had the sense
That we've been lying just a little
Gmaj7
I mean come on
D/B Asus4 Gmaj7
It's not like we've known ourselves that long
End on one strum of Gmaj7
THANKS!

| this song is about relationships and how people jump in the middle, move fast, do everything that you'd expect to see in a relationship of about 6 months in 2 weeks. you pretend that you're in love because you both want to be, you never memorize the number you just say what's your number... put it in the phone, never dial, just select the name and send... tracing is just following the lines of the relationship before that you're trying to emulate. the bottom line is the fact that it will never be that... yaaaa! | |

| This song is on the Bigger Than My Body Australia Single, which you can get pretty cheap on ebay. It also has one of my favorite John Mayer songs - his cover of Radiohead's Kid A. BTW, I think I'm a little slow, cos I can't really pick up on the meaning of this song - like "you always see the bottom line". What am I missing? | |

| yeah i agree with mayerhavemybabies ...lol sounds a little wrong from me but anyways. i think it\'s about a relationship that is kind of fake but there is hope they can get together (strong move slow). i\'m not very sure what he means by \"tracing\" | |
