Intro: (2x)
C majorC F#7F#7 B minorBm A6/9 G+G E minorEm F#7F#7

Verse 1:
C majorC      F#7F#7      B minorBm
I didn't notice anything strange
      A6/9           G+G  E minorEm  F#7F#7
About the picture in your picture frame
     C majorC      F#7F#7      B minorBm
It was drawn of a fountain in your Paris
         A6/9      E minorEm
Bought for a fiver most probably
        F#7F#7
Didn't mean a lot to me, a lot to me


Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm               E minorEm
You tell me that you'd never sell this
A minorAm               E minorEm
That the artist himself was beneath this
A minorAm             E minorEm
That life itself was within this
DmDm                     G7G7
And I looked at the sky to worship the ground


Chorus:
                  C majorC
And you never asked for nothing at all
    G+G               A minorAm
Even as the wolves glowered at your door
     E minorEm       DmDm    Em/B   DmDm    G7G7
And you do your best to fold me and unfold me again

Verse 2:
C majorC        F#7F#7       B minorBm
Time will make fools of us all
          A6/9      G+G  E minorEm  F#7F#7
It's time to find meaning or control
    C majorC     F#7F#7      B minorBm
Every time we go out now you pretend
          A6/9      E minorEm
Pretend we're not lovers, just friends
    F#7F#7
And it gets to me, gets to me


Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm              E minorEm
You tell me the meaning of life is
A minorAm             E minorEm
To be happy and to give up loss
A minorAm                  E minorEm
But you've never lost something you loved
DmDm
But I turn around
             G7G7
How could I be angry at you?


Chorus:
G7G7                  C majorC
When you never asked for nothing at all
   G+G               A minorAm
Even as the wolves glowered at your door
    E minorEm        DmDm      Em/B    DmDm
And you do your best to fold me and unfold me again
   Em/B   DmDm
And unfold me again
    G7G7              C majorC
And you never asked for nothing at all
