Verse 1:
C                           Am
Not out of the woods yet
                                 G6
I haven’t brought the goods yet
                       Em
Are we here to say goodbye?
C
I wish I could support you
Am
I wish I could afford to
G6                         Em
Give me one more chance to shine
       C
And if I don’t live up to this
Am
I’ll stay in the wilderness
G6                  Em
Staring at a lonely sky
C

It’s what I deserve
Am
What I should be reduced to
G6
And I won’t even ask
Em
Why you brought me in your car boot, and


Chorus:
C Am           G6
I am curious as to
Em
Why you’re so furious
C               Am                 G6 Em
And I know your moods are serious


Verse 2:
C
We could’ve gone anywhere
Am
If you wanna shoot the breeze
G6
But I remember you said
Em
You’re at one with the trees
C
If you’re sick of my questions
Am
I won’t say a word
G6
But one quick suggestion
Em
Fuck what you heard
C                         Am
If this is a test, dear

I wanna pass, flying colours
G6                               Em
And baby, we’re the best, we’re

Better than the others, so


Chorus:
C Am           G6
I am curious as to
Em
Why you’re so furious
C               Am                 G6 Em
And I know your moods are serious


C Am G6 Em x2

Verse 3:
C                               Am
What’s that in your bag, dear?
                        G6
I hope it’s just a kiss

You shouldn’t be so mad, dear
Em
On a night as clear as this
C
I hope that’s not a hammer
Am
I pray it’s just a rose
G6
Stop thrashing at my head, love
Em
Stop pulling on my clothes
C
I’m starting to feel weak, babe
Am
It’s cold here on the grass
G6
I can’t even speak, babe
Em
But I really need to ask
C
Was it something that I did?
Am
I need to be reminded
G6             Em
I need to be reminded


C                                  Am
I’ve got it, I know it’s too late

I wish I could explain
G6
Please don’t walk away
Em
My sight’s beginning to fade
C
And the lights are turning to grey
Am                                 G6    Em
And the night is starting to change

Sorry I missed your birthday

C Am G6 Em
