Caroline by The Clarks
Transcribed by Chris Choncek

Here's the first single off of "Someday Maybe". Its not real difficult once you get
the strumming sequence.

Intro: G, D, C, D
Use the same chords throughout the first verse until otherwise noted.

Verse 1:

You can scrutinize my actions, you can break me into fractions,
you can walk away

You can polarize my friends, destroy the letters that I send,
or you can run away

You can terrorize my neighbors, with your Mr. Hyde behavior,
you can drink away

You can exorcise your demons, bite and scratch and kick and scream,
you can act away

              DD Piano Chord 
               GG Piano Chord 
                  CC Piano Chord 

And if you ever open your eyes, you won't find me standing in line

Verse 2:

You can cauterize my feelings with your flaming tongue leaves me reeling,
you can talk away

You can compromise my passion, call me fake and call me fashion,
you can write away

You can rationalize a purchase with my money and say it's worth it
You can tear me up or tie me down and kick me on the ground

Verse 3:

You can scrutinize my actions, you can break me into fractions,
you can walk away

You can idolize your drum machine, say the Beatles suck and dis the King,
and walk away

You can finalize the ending, break the rules that you've been bending
You can find a brand new lover, run away and then discover
You can't outrun your actions, you can't get no satisfaction

Caroline, it's a waste of time

Caroline, it's a waste of time
