Yo La Tengo - I Should Have Known Better

E F#7 F#m
i got in a tussle
F#m B E
with a stranger on the train
E F#7 F#m
his face was familiar
F#m B G#m
but i couldn’t place the name
G#m C#
it got to be ugly
C# G#m
threats were made
G#m C# B
i hope that no – one who could see
A#m A G#
would be someone who’d know you

E F#7 F#m
i had a small run – in
F#m B E
with a driver and his wife
E F#7 F#m
you might call it road rage
F#m B G#m
but the guy outdid the light
G#m C#
conceding nothing
C# G#m
i held my ground
G#m C#
and now that it’s over
C A#
i’ve said that there must be
A G# C#
a better way

C# C#m
i keep it in mind
C# C#m
eight times out of nine
C# C#m
i’m wrong or i’m right
F# G#m
it’s not worth a fight
C# C#m
but what’s hard to define
C# C#m
makes it tough to decide
C# C#m
you don’t realize
F# G#m
until after it has begun
F# G#m
whether this is the one

E F#7 F#m B
i probably knew better
E F#7 F#m B
i probably knew better

G#m C#
conceding nothing
C# G#m
i held my ground
G#m C#
and now that it’s over
B A#m
i’ve said that there must be
A G# C#
a better way

C# C#m

C# C#m
eight times out of nine
C# C#m
