Intro: B E G(x2)
B                  E
Say don't talk and I won't mind
G
If there's a cause you know I never try
B                E              G
And I love you like the one I used to know
B              E
And if you never have the time
G
That's an ordinary problem
B              E                G
And I said i'd like, to have a place to go
D
And you held, and you tried
A
I could never find another
C                            G
If you walk me to the carpark, I won't go
To my left that's all the time
Flashing forward it seemed to swallow you
I could love you like the sister, I never had
Drawing circles in your concrete
I will know your every move
And I'll save you, I'll save you
And you held, and you tried
I could never find another
If you walk me to the carpark, I won't go
And we held, and we tried
There was hardly lust between us
I will love you, I won't let go
B               E           G
Cause we are one inside these walls, undercover
B                E           G
We are one inside these walls, undercover
B                E           G
We are one inside these walls, undercover
B              E            G
We are one in, we are one in, we are one
(D   A   C   G)
And you held, and you tried
I could never find another
If you walk me to the carpark, I won't go
And we held, and we tried
There was hardly lust between us
I will love you, I won't let go
B    E G
We are one.... (undercover)
(end on G)

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture (DDD Bass Gu Rhythm Player	#1 by (DDD Bass Guitar/Backup Vocals) Jeff Fritts at Sep 28, 2007 at 3:01 PM EST
	ok, first of all that first line...i think its "said ill talk an hour (or 'another') mile...". Then at the beginning of the second verse, he says "to my left i saw the time, flash and fall it seems to swallow you, i could love you like the sister i never had..." not something about a web. And that word you said what to, is "ill send you, ill send you". As far as meaning, it fits with the movie's theme guys. "We are one inside these walls, undercover..." They have this love but they have to keep it secret. She is someone who can understand him and he truly loves her, "and you held and you tried, i could never find another..."

No Picture UknownSoldier Lead Player	#2 by UknownSoldier Nightmare at Sep 30, 2007 at 8:02 AM EST
	"...seemed to swallow you" not seems - sorry

No Picture Nick Rhythm Player	#3 by Nick Carrasco at Oct 1, 2007 at 6:01 PM EST
	actually change that first line, maybe Sat round talkin out one night" I don't know, lemme know what you think

No Picture Ahhma Average	#4 by Ahhma Yomamma at Oct 4, 2007 at 9:17 PM EST
	i think its about a guy and a girl who have been close friends for a long time... so the idea of having a relationship is a little strange to them (there was hardly lust between us) but the guy is sick of seeing the girl be mistreated by other guys and knows she deserves more than that...and finally realizes they should be together. no matter what happens and what people say he will be there for her, because hes known her long enough to know she deserves it.

No Picture Trey Average	#5 by Trey smith at Oct 5, 2007 at 9:55 AM EST
	umm, hmm, i don't know the exact lyrics but to me it sounds nicer if the "what" part was "i'll save you, i'll save you" and the first line i think it's "save the talkin and i won't mind" but maybe i'm hearing wrong. this was the first pete yorn song i heard and i'm a pete yorn fan now. but this doesn't really sound like his other stuff does it? this is my fav pete yorn song.

No Picture Jon Badass	#6 by Jon Coath at Oct 6, 2007 at 2:33 AM EST
	The lyrics are in the liner notes. -_-

No Picture Dakota Average	#7 by Dakota Keyes at Oct 8, 2007 at 3:00 PM EST
	I thought it was "only lust between us". In which case, the entire meaning of the song is changed... well, maybe not the entire meaning... but I thought of it as two people who are attracted to each other, stayed up talking, wanted to get to know each other, but realized their relationship was primarily based on lust. And that they worked better as friends... like a brother and sister. Altho, the line "I could love you like the sister I never had" kind of makes my theory null and void, because you don't normally find yourself attracted to your sister, sexually... so hmmm... At any rate, this song is a keeper.

No Picture Spanky Lead Player	#8 by Spanky Man at Oct 9, 2007 at 6:42 PM EST
	i think it would make more sense if the part where you wrote "i will send ya" is "i will save you". that's just my opinion, but i really like this song and it was the first pete yorn song that i heard. of course it kinda doesn't sound like his other stuff but maybe i haven't listened to enough of his stuff to really judge. but overall this is my fav pete yorn song.

No Picture Jared Wanna Be	#9 by Jared van Eck at Oct 13, 2007 at 1:03 AM EST
	I believe the first sentence reads "Sat out talkin out one night" and i believe where you have what its either say or save.

No Picture chris Wanna Be	#10 by chris valverde at Oct 17, 2007 at 12:19 AM EST
	i really like this song i dont know if i completely understand it, i think its about refalling in love with someone. You've been together with someone for a while and it just starting not to work out anymore andhes kinda reminding himself that he loves her and he wont let go that easy, the whole we are one thing i guess means that he feels like they have become a part of each other. i dunno im going out on a limb here.
