D
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

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

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?

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

G	D	  A	       D
Warm hands and things you say
