Intro: (2x)
C F#7 Bm A6/9 G Em F#7

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


Pre-Chorus:
Am                              Em
You tell me that you'd never sell this
Am                             Em
That the artist himself was beneath this
Am                          Em
That life itself was within this
Dm                                          G7
And I looked at the sky to worship the ground


Chorus:
                                    C
And you never asked for nothing at all
        G                             Am
Even as the wolves glowered at your door
         Em              Dm        Em/B      Dm       G7
And you do your best to fold me and unfold me again


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


Pre-Chorus:
Am                           Em
You tell me the meaning of life is
Am                          Em
To be happy and to give up loss
Am                                    Em
But you've never lost something you loved
Dm
But I turn around
                         G7
How could I be angry at you?


Chorus:
G7                                    C
When you never asked for nothing at all
     G                              Am
Even as the wolves glowered at your door
       Em               Dm           Em/B       Dm
And you do your best to fold me and unfold me again
      Em/B     Dm
And unfold me again
        G7                            C
And you never asked for nothing at all
