Had as many James Taylor records as you, but I do

I'm comin' off a little shy, but I   do
D     D D    D  D  D E  B   B  C B E 



Chorus

And you throw your head back laughin' like a little kid

Thinkin' all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday, in a café, I watched it begin again

Bridge

And we walked down the block to my car
E      G    B          D    B     D    B  D   D 

And I almost brought him up
G    G   B D      D        C   B 

But you start to talk about the movies
G      B     D   B   D     B B   D   D C 

That your family watches every single Christmas
B        D   D C       B G      E G   G E       E D 

And I will talk about that
D    D  D   G    G F#  D  

And for the first time, what's past is past
    B       B   B     A        B       C   B  G 


Chorus

'Cause you throw your head back laughin' like a little kid
E           E     G      E      G      G     E D       D  D  G E B A 


I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

E  G     E     G          G    E     G     G   E D      D     G    G E  B A 

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinkin' all love ever does is break and burn and end
G G        G   G    A E   E D B   B     A      A     G   B 

But on a Wednesday, in a café, I watched it begin again

About Me

These notes can be used to play the song on many instruments including the keyboard, flute, recorder and piano. The piano/keyboard I use is a Casio CT-S300 , and an older Casio CTK 240 electronic keyboard which are great for beginners. I also have a YouTube channel (Mint Music) where I make videos to assist you in your learning. Please feel free to comment any requests and feedback.

  1. I definitely agree with everything you said. The music video is also stunning as well. I wonder what filter they used to kind of get that cold, blue/gray look. I think it’s interesting how dreary and dark the video looks compared to the title and subject of the song.
