Verse 1:
C majorC              A minorAm
Not out of the woods yet
                 G6G6
I haven’t brought the goods yet
            E minorEm
Are we here to say goodbye?
C majorC
I wish I could support you
A minorAm
I wish I could afford to
G6G6             E minorEm
Give me one more chance to shine
    C majorC
And if I don’t live up to this
A minorAm
I’ll stay in the wilderness
G6G6         E minorEm
Staring at a lonely sky
C majorC
It’s what I deserve
A minorAm
What I should be reduced to
G6G6
And I won’t even ask
E minorEm
Why you brought me in your car boot, and

Chorus:
C majorC A minorAm      G6G6
I am curious as to
E minorEm
Why you’re so furious
C majorC        A minorAm         G6G6 E minorEm
And I know your moods are serious


Verse 2:
C majorC
We could’ve gone anywhere
A minorAm
If you wanna shoot the breeze
G6G6
But I remember you said
E minorEm
You’re at one with the trees
C majorC
If you’re sick of my questions
A minorAm
I won’t say a word
G6G6
But one quick suggestion
E minorEm
Fuck what you heard
C majorC             A minorAm
If this is a test, dear

I wanna pass, flying colours
G6G6                E minorEm
And baby, we’re the best, we’re

Better than the others, so

Chorus:
C majorC A minorAm      G6G6
I am curious as to
E minorEm
Why you’re so furious
C majorC        A minorAm         G6G6 E minorEm
And I know your moods are serious


C majorC A minorAm G6G6 E minorEm x2

Verse 3:
C majorC                A minorAm
What’s that in your bag, dear?
            G6G6
I hope it’s just a kiss

You shouldn’t be so mad, dear
E minorEm
On a night as clear as this
C majorC
I hope that’s not a hammer
A minorAm
I pray it’s just a rose
G6G6
Stop thrashing at my head, love
E minorEm
Stop pulling on my clothes
C majorC
I’m starting to feel weak, babe
A minorAm
It’s cold here on the grass
G6G6
I can’t even speak, babe
E minorEm
But I really need to ask
C majorC
Was it something that I did?
A minorAm
I need to be reminded
G6G6       E minorEm
I need to be reminded


C majorC                 A minorAm
I’ve got it, I know it’s too late

I wish I could explain
G6G6
Please don’t walk away
E minorEm
My sight’s beginning to fade
C majorC
And the lights are turning to grey
A minorAm                 G6G6  E minorEm
And the night is starting to change

Sorry I missed your birthday

C majorC A minorAm G6G6 E minorEm
