Chords with lyrics

(I happen to think this is a beautiful little song and it never got heard as it
was a B-side on the “Not Fair” EP…….couldn’t decide on standard tuning or Capo on
the 1st so I did both)

Intro

Eb MajorEb Eb7Eb7 AbAb AbmAbm (2X)


Verse 1

Eb MajorEb         Eb7Eb7        A augmentedA   AbmAbm
Why aren't I one of these interesting people

     Eb MajorEb     Eb7Eb7    AbAb   AbmAbm
Who's always got something to say?

  Eb MajorEb    Eb7Eb7      AbAb    AbmAbm
To not be contrived and to feel so alive

     Eb MajorEb     Eb7Eb7    AbAb  AbmAbm
And to never have wasted the day

  Eb MajorEb      Eb7Eb7     AbAb       AbmAbm
To go for long walks and have well-informed talks

   Eb MajorEb    Eb7Eb7    AbAb  AbmAbm
In an non-confrontational way

Eb MajorEb      Eb7Eb7      AbAb     AbmAbm
Why aren't I one of these interesting people

   Eb MajorEb Eb7Eb7 AbAb  AbmAbm     Eb MajorEb  Eb7Eb7  AbAb  AbmAbm
And why ………………………………won't you stay?


Chorus


Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb
I'm still having the same conversation

Bb majorBb           AbAb
I've been having for years

Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb
I just want to read and retain information

Bb majorBb          AbAb
Just face up to my fears

Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
I look at myself and it's so plain to see

Bb majorBb        AbAb
All I need is to change

Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb
Not too much, I still want to be me

Bb majorBb         AbAb  AbmAbm
Everyone looks the same

Verse 2


Eb MajorEb     Eb7Eb7     AbAb     AbmAbm
Why is my phone full of so many numbers

   Eb MajorEb      Eb7Eb7  AbAb  AbmAbm
And why doesn't anyone call?

Eb MajorEb     Eb7Eb7       AbAb    AbmAbm
Maybe they think that I'm always too busy

   Eb MajorEb    Eb7Eb7      AbAb  AbmAbm
Or maybe I've no friends at all

     Eb MajorEb    Eb7Eb7       AbAb     AbmAbm
When I'm watching tv they're all out necking Es

     Eb MajorEb   Eb7Eb7   AbAb   AbmAbm
And well obviously I'm appalled

Eb MajorEb     Eb7Eb7     AbAb     AbmAbm
Why is my phone full of so many numbers

  Eb MajorEb  Eb7Eb7  AbAb   AbmAbm    Eb MajorEb  Eb7Eb7 AbAb AbmAbm
And why……………………………………… don't you call?
