Say it Isn't So-Outfield (J.Spinks)(Album: Play Deep,1985)
Original recording in Key of E 
Capo 2 in Key of D for ease of chording.

These are novice rhythm chords. I highly doubt they are perfect.
(they sound pretty close) Play along with song for strum timing,
you might notice the chord pattern emerge after a couple stanzas.  
The redundancy of the D D is to remind the player of the 
additional beat on that note.  


Intro:
      (D D A G) (D D A G)(D D A G) (D D A ... into verse 1)
                         (Yeah.............)
Verse 1:
G                      D  D  A G
You got me all screwed up, 
G                      D  D  A G
so much I can't turn round 
              Bm                       A              
And I've been running about with some funny girls
G           D  D A G
I'm not so tough, 
G                  D D A G
but if you let me down      (I'll tell ya)
    Bm                 A
I'd give you just one day to explain 
    Bm                       A                    G
I'd like to know if there's somebody else in this game 


Chorus 1:
G               D                    A      
  (Say it isn't so) tell me I'm the only one 
G               D                  A        
  (Say it isn't so) without you I can't go on 
G               Bm                    A         
  (How was I to know) if you keep me guessing 
             G
I don't understand 

Verse 2:
G                D  D  A G
I can't sleep at night, 
G                         D  D  A G
I keep on dreaming you're gone 
            Bm                     A                
I'm staring into a space that was filled by your...
G          D D A G
Facing the day, 
G             D  D  A G
a face in the crowd
    Bm                    A
I'm sure I saw you just a moment ago 
      Bm                 A                    G
There must be something you don't want me to know 

Chorus 2:
G               D                    A      
  (Say it isn't so) if you got the magic touch 
G               D                A        
  (Say it isn't so) one that I need so much
G               Bm                    A         
  (How was I to know) if you keep me guessing 
             G
I don't understand 


Refrain/Middle:
         Em                  C
There's something wrong, suspicion's getting stronger 
       Em              C
Don't know if I can stand this pain much longer 
    Em             Am/C                  
You play around but I see right through you

It's lonely on the streets when it's just 1 am..... mmm
Bm                  A                 A A A
See a lot of pretty girls passing by 
D                   A        G        D  D   A  G
I'm walking in the midnight sun once again, 

Bm                  A
And now I know why love is so blind, 
     Bm                     A                      G
'Cos when you're out of my sight, I'm out of your mind
