Tuning:Standard (Capo 1)

G
How could you let her touch you in a place

you didn't want touched?
G
How could you let get so close to you

that she could kiss your neck?
G

And kiss it gently, and kiss it gently

and kiss it gently?

G
How could you take a number from her

when you met her in that bar?
G
How could you offer her a drink

and then the front seat of your car?
G
And kiss her gently, and kiss her gently

and kiss her hard?


              Em              G
How could you lie to me right to my face
               Em             C
How could your best friend's, ex-girlfriend's
G
younger sister's mate
            Em            C
Know before I did? Before I did
       G
before I did

G
How could you string me along for so long

for just over 11 months?
G
How could I be so stupid and so blind?

You know I think I had a hunch
G
About this anyway, about this whole thing,

about this girl

G
I thought that it was just a phase

you were so distant and so cold
G
I thought that it was just your age

and the fear of getting old
G
You acted different, you were so different,

you were impatient


        Em               G
And you lied to me right to my face
         Em             C
And your best friend's, ex-girlfriend's
G
younger sister's mate
            Em            C
Knew before I did? Before I did
       G
before I did

              Em                      C
'Cause if you run into the eye of the storm
                 G                        D
to get round the back, you better hit the floor

'cause screamin

Em
NO!
                         C
I can't take it, I can't take it
                       G
I can't take it anymore
                        D
Till your eyes and your mouth is sore
        Em                   C
Doesn't help anyone, doesn't do good
          G
But you'd do something else
       D
if you only could

    Em
And I wish I could grow up
       C
wish I could be well-behaved
         G
But everytime I look you in the eye
  D
I send you to the grave

         Em
And that pretty, pretty girl
         C
with her nice sweet lips
          G
With your eyes on her chest
         D
and your hands on her hips

     Em                    C
This itch, this burn, this pain
              G
this draining feeling
          D
Turns out needs a cream
   Em           C
To help it go away so that's what
G              D
leaving me the gift you gave

        Em                             C
Does it help? I can't take it, I can't take it
                      G
I can't take it anymore
                         D
I can't take it, I can't take it
                     Em
I can't take it anymore
                         C
I can't take it, I can't take it
                      G
I can't take it anymore
                         D
I can't take it, I can't take it
                     Em
I can't take it anymore

                         C
I can't take it, I can't take it
                      G
I can't take it anymore
                         D
I can't take it, I can't take it
                     Em
I can't take it anymore
                         C
I can't take it, I can't take it
                G
I can't take it anymore
                         D
I can't take it, I can't take it
                      G (till end)
I can't take it anymore
