          meaning strum it five times

Alternative method is to just follow the progression G, Em and C


chorus:
-------

Basically the progression is: G, A7, C, Em, G

However from Em to G this is how I play it:

       Em    Em7                  G
E ------0-----0-----0---0---0-----3------------------------------------|
B ------0-----3-----3---3---3-----0------------------------------------|

A ------2-----2-----2---2---2-----2------------------------------------|
E ------0-----0-----0---0---0-----3------------------------------------|


lyrics:
-------

G              Em
Jaimme's got a girl
G                        Em
don't think things gonna be the same
G                       Em
he ain't coming out and drinking tonight
Cadd9              Cma7          Cadd9
I think he's gonna change his name

he can't work it out
he ain't punching walls anymore
I ain't gonna wake up now
and find you on my floor


G
game's a game
                       A7
don't wanna be the same
                                      C
but you sure ain't like you were yesterday
                             Em  Em7  G
just go on and try ... yeah .....

and if it's true
it just ain't my place to say
but you sure ain't like you were yesterday
just go on and try ... yeah .....


fortune sounds dead
pocket sure feels tight
things I promised not to do with you today
sure need to deny

it's all working out
just like they said it would be
you ain't gonna fall on my floor
now on it's just sweet dreams

	Actually, Jaimme is Tim's brother, and the original bass player of You Am I.

	this song conveys the two sides of the situation here, he's happy his friends got a girlfriend and is cleaning up his act cos its making jaimme a better person: "he aint punching walls anymore", but at the same time he's missing the way things were, even though he didn't necessarily like it: "the things i promised not to do with you today/i sure need to tonight" I find this song really sad, its sort of sacrificial, i can see its good that things are working out for you but i'm sad that you've changed because it means you're drifting away, but its not my place to say.
