Gtr1: start playing the C chord
      then  G  Em  A  C

G                                 Em      
  Well you shouldn't talk to yourself 
                        A
Will I picture somebody else 
                      C  
Someone who looks like what I look like 
G                                     Em
  would you save it for one of your dreams 
                              A
Got in you and ripped up the seams 
                  C
That's what I'd say 

That's what I'd say 

G                                  Em 
  He was a sucker for your double dose 
                           A
Mother fucker two wires opposed 
                 C
Don't you say hi 

Don't you say hi 

G                              Em
  With your broken sink for a face 
                               A
In a head that just takes up space 
                    C
He's not half right 

He's not half right 

C               Em    A 
  It's already half past 
        C  
And we both left 


repeat intro

G                             Em    
  I was sticking up for my friend 
                                A
When there's nothing much to defend 
                   C
It's a lost fight 

It's a lost fight 

G                                   Em 
  Cause when I talk to you on the phone 
                            A  
Well it's just like being alone 
                C 
It's not half right 
                  
It's not half right
