I Used To Say "I Love You" - Robyn Hitchcock

Intro:
D A G A
D A G

Verse:
  A\t\t D\t   A G
I used to say "I love you"
   A             G    A G
It wasn't really true
  A\t      D\t      A G
I wanted to believe it
    A\t\t G    A G
And now I almost do

  A              D\t   A G
I used to say "I love you"
  A\t       G      A G
I said it as a threat
   A\t      D\t      A G
Or maybe as a promise
   A\t            G   A G
To see what I could get

Chorus:
A      D\t     Dmaj7    C\t   G
But my heart doesn't break anymore
      D\t\t    Dmaj7   C\t   G
No my heart doesn't ache anymore
\t  Em\t\tD\tC
'Cause it just couldn't take anymore
         D-F#m\t     G\t      E7
And I've lost   my illusions about you now

Verse:
  \t\t D\t   A G
I used to say "I love you"
   A             G     A G
It wasn't what I meant
A             D         A G
What I really meant was
 A\t       G\tA G
"Come on in my tent"

A \t       D\tA G
But you were reluctant
  A               G\tA G
Although I was so hot
A\t   D\t    A G
Now I understand it
    A\t\t    G\tA G
But back then I did not

Chorus:
A      D\t     Dmaj7   C\t   G
But my heart doesn't wear anymore
      D\t\t    Dmaj7   C\t   G
No my heart doesn't care anymore
          Em\t      D\t       C
'Cause my heart isn't there anymore
         D-F#m\t    G\t     E7
And I've lost  my illusions about you now

Verse:
                    D\t   A G
And now if I should see you
   A\t           G\t   A G
Or call you on the phone (mm-hmm)
  A\t\t    D\t   A G
I wonder who's that person
        A             G\t   A G
I could never call my own

  A \t\t   D\t    A G
Although I kind of like you
     A\t        G     A G
I'll never understand
    A          D      A G
Why I got so excited
     A                 G    A G
Each time that we held hands

Chorus:
          D\t        Dmaj7   C    G
'Cause my heart doesn't feel anymore
      D\t\t    Dmaj7    C\t   G
No my heart doesn't wheel anymore
\t  Em\t     D\t     C
'Cause it just isn't real anymore
         D-F#m\t     G        E7
And I've lost   my illusions about you now
