Verse:

Was an honest man
D D D D
Asked me for the phone
D D D D
Tried to take control
C C
Oh I don't see it that way

Says we're all the same
I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

Tryin' to remind her

When we go back

CHORUS:
G G
I missed the last bus
G G
I'll take the next train
Bm Bm
I try, but you see
Am Am
It's hard to explain
G G
I said the right things
G G
But act the wrong way
Bm Bm
I like it right here
Am Am
But I cannot stay
G G
I watched the TV
G G
Forget what I'm told
Bm Bm
Well I am too young
Am Am
And they are too old
G G
The joke is on you
G G
This place is a zoo
Bm Bm
You're right, it's true

Break. (like the intro kinda)

Verse:

He said he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everythings just great
Oh I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Pre-CHORUS:
Raised in Carolina (she says)
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
CHORUS:
I say the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watched the TV
Forget what I'm told
I am too young
And they are too old
I'll make it you see
I'm ever so pleased
Pretend to be nice
So I can be mean
I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I try, but you see
It's hard to explain

The Bm doesn't sound completely right on the prechorus but the rest is spot on.

About this song: Hard To Explain

Genuine scalp-crackling excitement, a comet-rare synthesis of form, content, attitude and hair that makes the perfect blackout silence in the middle of "Hard To Explain". The music video for Hard to Explain was rarely broadcast on television because it did not contain enough shots of the band members, but was instead a montage of random stock footage shots of things that could be considered "hard to explain". Written by Julian Casablancas Performed by The Strokes
