[Verse]
D         A           F#m
I’ll give it back if you want it
D         A           F#m    D
All that time you wasted on it
D           F#         G
I dreamed of you in the car
D           F#         G
I wanna know how you are
 
D         A           F#m
From August to October
D         A           F#m    D
It felt like it was over
D           F#         G
Don’t wear yourself out me
D           F#         G
Don’t lie down about me
 
 
[Chorus]
(riff)
Ricky felt alone now
(riff)
So he went to the store
(riff)
Gathered up some flowers
(riff)
To mail to Julie’s door
 
 
[Verse]
D         A           F#m
The field so watery and wide
D         A           F#m    D
Passes me on either side
D           F#         G
Didn’t talk to you today
D           F#         G
Doesn’t matter either way
 
D         A           F#m
You know I like 'em cut
D         A           F#m    D
With a certain I-don’t-know-what
D           F#         G
Dipped into the reserve
D           F#         G
Bathed in the dirt I deserve
 
 
[Chorus]
(riff)
Julie had his flowers
(riff)
Taped up on the wall
(riff)
"It's better to love Ricky
(riff)
From afar than not at all"
 
[Outro]
D A G
(riff chorus)
