F#7so (242352@1)i'm walking along, on my way somewhere


in a rush 'cos I've somewhere to go

           B7when (x21202@1)I can see in the distance quite far away

     F#7it's (242352@1)someone that I think that I know


well i don't know his name but he always says hi


i guess he thinks that i'm one of his friends

       B7i (x21202@1)only spoke to him once, and it was ages ago

           F#7and (242352@1)it was just so i could borrow his pen



  Emi (022000@1)do not want to say hi

       Amlook (x02210@1)i don't mean to be rude

     Bit's (x2444x@1)not that i don't like you

               C# (x43121@1)                F#it's (244322@1)just that i'm not in the mood


well he's coming my way and i'm going his way
we're gonna have to pass each other by
but i'll do anything if it only means
i don't have to look him in the eye
well i pretend i'm adjusting the strap on my bag
just to make it slightly more tight
i put my hands in my pockets and rummage around
and turn my head a bit to the right

i do not want to say hi
look i don't mean to be rude
it's not that i don't like you
it's just that i'm not in the mood

(solo)

well now we're only a few short feet away
and there's just a few seconds to go
but there's just been definite eye-contact
and it's far too late as both of us know
well i can see him, he can see me and we can see eachother
one of us'll have to go first
and so as we pass, we briefly glance at eachother and make this noise:
"a'right?"

i do not want to say hi
look idon't mean to be rude
it's not that i don't like you
it's just that i'm not in the mood
