No, I sent you that letter

   					A

To ask you if the end was worth the means

      

Was there really no inbetween?

D      

And I still don't feel better

      				  A

I just wondered if it could be like before

      

And I think you just made me sure!

			D      

But then that's typically you

      

And I might have been a bit rude

			A

But I wrote it in a bad mood

      			D

I'm not being funny with you

      

But it's hard to be engaging

      				   A

When the things you love keep changing 



D   DSUS D

  

G   

Brassneck.

Brassneck.

D		        G	      

I just decided I don't trust you anymore

 I just decided I don't trust you anymore 

      

INTRO RIFF - D    A



First time you came over

Do you remember you saying that you'd stay for good?

No I didn't think you would

well we couldn't've been closer

But it was different then, and that's all in the past

There I've said it now at last!

You grew up quicker than me

I kept so many old things

And never quite stopped hoping

I think I know what this means

It means I've got to grow up

it means you want to throw up 

Brassneck. Brassneck.

I just decided I don't trust you anymore

I just decided I don't love you anymore

I just know, you weren't listening, were you?

                  D			  G 

Oh please go, whenever you'd prefer to

		F#m			        Em

I said it means a lot, when you use an old phrase

  		F#m			  Em 

But then so what? We cant have it both ways

	D			  G 

Now I know, you're not bothered, are you?

	D		      G 

Even so, I'm not going to argue

 	F#m		      Em 

He wont object! Keep writing to me

 	F#m		    Em

Just don't forget you ever knew me 

      

Ah-oh

END ON D (ring)









Crushed



E

Somewhere, sometime

I've got to say this somehow

Oh no, it's fine

I couldn't face it just now 

 

A			  D    

Oh, please don't use that voice

		        A      

I think I've made my choice

		D

I'd change it if I could

 A			     D     

Oh, you know I'm crushed inside

			A      

Goodness knows I've tried

		D      

I think I've had enough 

      

Oh no, I swear,

There's no one else I promise

The 'phone? Up there

But please don't leave here like this 



Oh, please don't use that voice

I think I've made my choice

I'd change it if I could

Oh, you know I'm crushed inside

Goodness knows I've tried

I think I've had enough 

      

You're late, been where?

Worried sick about you

Alright, take care

I'm sorry that I hurt you 

      

Oh, please don't use that voice

I think I've made my choice

I'd change it if I could

Oh, you know I'm crushed inside

Goodness knows I've tried

I think I've had enough 

      





No



E	A



 E     

Why can't you pick up the telephone?

 			A     

Oh I know that you're at home

         E      

I'm really past caring how you think

			     A      

I just want to know about him 

  	     E    

And you're so right, they don't miss a thing round here

			  A      

And how do you think I feel?

	       E      

Oh you can try but you're not getting out that way

  			     A    

You're just as much to blame 

      

D	G	A	D

And if it didn't mean a thing

	      G	A	D      

And you've told him to go

 		  G     A	         D     

And if you're as sorry as you say

	G	A	D      

Why didn't you just say no? 

     



 It's strange that this room's so different now      

Oh I didn't come to row     

It's just this razor, he's left it on your shelf     

I'll throw it out myself 

      

And if it didn't mean a thing      

And you've told him to go      

And if you're as sorry as you say      

Why didn't you just say no?

What Have I Said Now?



ALL BARRE CHORDS



F



F     

About what I said just before

F      

You know, your clothes on the floor

Bb     		  A	C

I never meant to hurt you

     	F

 I got carried away

     

 I guess I've had a long day

Bb      			  A	C

Look, I'd sooner die than lose you

      	F

Over something like that



Oh, please, next time just shout back

Bb      			A	C

And I didn't say that I hate you

      	  F

I think sometimes you forget

      

And now look how we're upset

Bb		            A	C

Let's talk about it later 

      

Bb				     F

Why can't I ever say what I mean?

Bb				     F		C

Why can't I ever say what I mean? 

      

Oh no I don't know her name

And no, it's not just the same

I just thought she looked quite pretty

What do you want me to do

Smile at nobody but you?

Well if you're going to be that petty

I'm not being unfair

Okay, I am, but who cares

Well, now at least we're talking

And what about all of those friends

And all those letters they send

They can't all be that boring 

     

Why can't I ever say what I mean?

Why can't I ever say what I mean?

Of course I take it all back

 C#  B  A  G#

I never said that

And I think you know

E	      C#   B  A  G#

I said I'm sorry alright?

	            C#  B  A  G#

Look, will this carry on all night?

Because I think I'll go 

C#   B  A  G#

I take it all back

Granadaland



D	A



 D     

Can't you come up with something better than that?

Oh I think I'd be more angry 

If your answers weren't so daft!

Oh you know I could

But do you really think I would?

						A

When you go up to Granadaland on Sundays 

   

D   

Sally told me that you're practically kissing his feet

Oh, but he hasn't got a car 

And so your list of names brought you to me

And a friend in need 

Is a pest indeed

						   A

When she uses everybody in the way that you do 

 

	    D     

You know you're breaking my heart

				A

I can't bear the thought of us being apart

	    D

You know you're breaking my heart

				A

I can't bear the thought of us being apart 



Maybe I'll see you tomorrow if you could spare me the time

Oh no, of course I didn't mean it 

I still keep hoping you'll be changing your mind

Okay your choice is clear

But, please, anywhere but here

And stop trying to tell me that you know how I feel

 

You know you're breaking my heart

I can't bear the thought of us being apart

You know you're breaking my heart

I can't bear the thought of us being apart

Bewitched

 

A  



A   

I'm not sure and I'm not asking

But I thought I heard you say 

"I just walked past him"

  						D				

But why can I never do anything before you go

 A 

I don't know 



And outside the streets are empty

There was no time then

And now there's plenty

					          	D

Oh why do I never get a chance to say a word

A      

When you're on your own 

     

 If there's nothing that I want more

Why do my steps get this small 

When I reach your front door

						D

And I wait outside for you to come back out

A

And you light goes out 



You don't know me but I'm still here

And God the last time I saw you

You were, oh, this near

							D

And there's a thousand things I wish I'd said and done

 A     

But the moment's gone

Take Me!



D	A	G



D      

I spent all day trying to decide

About the things that you said last night

 		A     

Did they mean nothing 

      		G		      D

Or were they filled with hidden clues?



D   

And can you really have stayed til three

Orange slices and that Fall LP

      	  A		G			D

I feel so lonely when I get back from seeing you 

D      

And when someone brings up your name

I can feel myself begin to change

	     A

It's like a panic

 	G			  D

And a rushing sound in my head

D      

A huge weight pressing on my chest 

And now I spend hours trying to look my best

	     A		         G			  D

But I still meet you the day before I wash my hair 

 

G/A     				D	        A

Oh won't you put that down and take me, I'm yours

D			A

When will we have this chance again

G/A     				D	        A

Oh please just put that down and take me, I'm yours

D			     A

We might never have this chance again 

  

That must've been a knowing look

Oh when you moved to pass your friend his book

And oh that feeling 

When your hand returns to mine

I think I might as well stay out here

Oh but, can you kiss me just once properly

Well of course I mean it! I think about you all the time 

Oh won't you put that down and take me, I'm yours

When will we have this chance again

Oh please just put that down and take me, I'm yours

We might never have romance again

Warm hands and things you say

You get lovelier everyday
