Matchbox Twenty - Parade

verse 1

E C G D
when the slow parade went past
E C G D
when it felt so good you knew it couldn’t last
E C G D
and all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning
E C G D
and you’d have to just go home

verse 2

E C G D
and the way it all went by
E C G D
and somebody said “come on its getting late”
E C G D
and you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way
E C G D
and now you wish that you had stayed

pre – chorus

E C G D
and there’s so much more that you could see if you just stick around
E C G D E
and all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out

chorus

C
oh no
G D E
there’s so much more that you need to work out
C
oh no
G D
you don’t want that parade to leave you now

verse 3

E C G D
and the days are all the same
E C G D
and the town so big and no one knows your name
E C G
and the people fade away
D
and all stars are just a flicker
E C G D
and you’re left there all alone

pre – chorus
E C G D
and there’s so much more that you could see if you just stick around
E C G D E
and all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out

chorus

C
oh no
G D E
there’s so much more that you need to work out
C
oh no
G D
you don’t want that parade to leave you now

E C G
when the music’s over
D C
but the song stays in your head
