I made another tab on this song that shows how you play the chords
I'm unsure about the ending because end on g,c not an am,d
Intro: (x2)
G C G C G C Am D
Verse 1:
G C
I've kept my head against the wall
G C
I've been this way for so long now
G C
You weren't exactly falling over yourself
Am D
When last I saw you
G C
Well I always thought
G C
We'd get along like a house on fire
G C
Until you told me that I'd have to go
Am D
How can someone like you, work that slow?
Chorus:
G C
Whatever you think of me
G C
You listen hard and I will make you see
G C
Whatever you think of me
Am C
You listen hard and I will make you see
Pre-Verse:
G C G C G C Am D
Verse 2:
G C
I don't feel anything no more
G C
This state of grace is consuming me
G C
I'm not grown up and I am not a boy
Am D
I feel no pain and I feel no joy
G C
Well, I always thought
G C
We'd get along like a house on fire
G C
In those days when the sun was warm
Am D
I ran in the street where I was born
Chorus:
G C
Whatever you think of me
G C
You listen hard and I will make you see
G C
Whatever you think of me
Am C
You listen hard and I will make you see
Pre-bridge:
G C G C G C Am D G C G C
Bridge:
G C
The streets are so empty at this time of night
Am D
I'd rather walk on my own than fight
G C
In a world where I'd forgotten you
G C
I found myself forgotten, too
G C
That's the danger of believing books
Am D
And all the lies of those thieves and crooks
G C
We sing intellectual songs of love
G C
