Intro

Strum between ( G5 ) and ( G5 ) - a 'down down up down' ryhthm , which continues into the 
verse. I like to start on the bottom strings then throw in a few top strings as we get 
into the intro..


VERSE 1


(Strumming between G5 and G5 )
I've got my head down in my books
                     ( D5 )
I've been reading all weekend,
                       (Back to G5 and G5 )
But I don't learn anything

Because my mind is full of emptiness,
         ( D5 )                        (Back to G5 and G5 )
I've less energy than a stick of celery.

             ( A5 )   ( C5 )         ( G5 )
And then you call me up, down in Jericho,
( G5 )             ( A5 )     ( C5 )      ( G5 )
   To see if I'll go for a drink or two


CHORUS 1


( G5 )    ( A5 )       ( C5 )
   But I don't want you to see,
( G5 )             ( G5 )             ( A5 )
 What the lonely nights are doing to me,
     ( C5 )             ( G5 )    ( G5 )
Bit my fingers to the bone,
     ( A5 )          ( C5 )
And I don't want to hear you say,
( G5 )         ( G5 )
You let what happened anyway
( A5 )       ( C5 )
  'Cos you don't know anything


BRIDGE / FREAK OUT BIT

It's a bit weird to work out. I think i strumming between ( A5 ) and ( A5 ) for a few bars. 
Then hold the ( A5 ) for a bar or two longer, then ( C5 ), then back to strumming between ( G5 ) 
and ( G5 )


VERSE 2

                                          ( D5 )
I was a stronger man than you when I loved Delilah,
                     (Back to G5 and G5 )
With her pants on fire

But then she cut my hair and left me here,
          ( D5 )                         (Back to G5 and G5 )
With more inertia than a limpet on the shore
        ( A5 )          ( C5 )             ( G5 )
When the tide falls so low I feel like letting go,
( G5 )             ( A5 )( C5 )       ( G5 )
  Though I should go to my family


CHORUS 2


( G5 )    ( A5 )       ( C5 )
   But I don't want you to see,
( G5 )             ( G5 )             ( A5 )
 What the lonely nights are doing to me,
     ( C5 )             ( G5 )    ( G5 )
Bit my fingers to the bone,
     ( A5 )          ( C5 )
And I don't want to hear you say,
( G5 )         ( G5 )
You let what happened anyway
( A5 )       ( C5 )              ( G5 )    ( G5 )
  'Cos you don't know anything


    ( A5 )          ( C5 )
And I don't want to hear you say,
( G5 )         ( G5 )
You let what happened anyway
( A5 )       ( C5 )              ( G5 )   (Let ring)
  'Cos you don't know anything
