Aubrey Acordes

[Intro]
 
G Bm7/F# Em Gmaj7/D C C/B Am7 C/D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G     Bm7/F#           Em   Gmaj7/D
  And Aubrey was her name,
         C        C/B          Am7  C/D
a not so very ordinary girl or name.
             G    Gmaj7/F#
But who's to blame
Em      B/D# Bm/D            C#m7b5
  for a love   that wouldn't bloom;
C                           G/B            Gmaj7/B
  for the hearts that never played in tune?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 
Am7           Gmaj7/B     C            Gmaj7/B
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Am7           Gmaj7/B              C              C#m7b5 D7sus2 D7sus4 D7
take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G     Bm7/F#         Em   Gmaj7/D
  And Aubrey was her name.
               C                  C/B           Am7  C/D
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon,
              G   Gmaj7/F#
but where was June?
Em      B/D# Bm/D      C#m7b5
  No it never    came around.
C                   G/B          Gmaj7/B
If it did, it never made a sound.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
 
Am7         Gmaj7/B       C             Gmaj7/B
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast,
Am7              Gmaj7/B            C              C#m7b5
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past.
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
G/D  B7/D#                     Em
           But God, I miss the girl,
        G7/F                           C/E
and I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Cm/Eb                 G
closer to her than to me.

(G) Bm7/F# Em Gmaj7/D C C/B Am7 C/D
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
G     Bm7/F#         Em   Gmaj7/D
  And Aubrey was her name.
        C              C/B                Am7  C/D
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same.
 
            G   Gmaj7/F#
I loved her name.
Em            B/D# Bm/D              C#m7b5
  Wished that I        had found the way
C                          G/B           Gmaj7/B
and the reasons that would make her stay.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 3]
 
Am7               Gmaj7/B      C                 Gmaj7/B
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
Am7                 Gmaj7/B          C              C#m7b5
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
G/D  B7/D#                     Em
            Oh, how I miss the girl,
        G7/F                          C/E
and I'd go a million times around the world just to say
Cm/Eb                   G
she had been mine for a day.
