        My girl's mad at me.
Am*/Ab/Am*      Dm
 I didn't wanna see the film tonight.

Am*/Ab/Am*                 F   /E/F
        I found it hard to say.
Am*/Ab/Am*             Dm
 She thought I'd had e-nough of her.

Chorus 1:

C    C/B       Am
 Why can't she see,
Dm     Em7       G
 She's lovely to me?
C      C/B          Am
 But I like to stay in,
    Am/G    F  Am    Dm
And watch T.V. on my own.
Every now and then.

Am*/Ab/Am*               F   /E/F
        My girl's mad at me.
Am*/Ab/Am*        Dm
 Been on the tele-phone for an hour.

Am*/Ab/Am*               F     /E/F
        We hardly said a word.
Am*/Ab/Am*
 I tried and tried,
    Dm
But I could not be heard.

Chorus 2: 

C    C/B        Am
 Why can't I ex-plain?
Dm        Em7       G
 Why do I feel this pain?
C           C/B     Am
 'Cos every-thing I say,
    Am/G    F     Am
She doesn't under-stand,
            Dm
She doesn't realise.
             Dm7           G
She takes it all the wrong way.

Am*/Ab/Am*               F   /E/F
        My girl's mad at me.
Am*/Ab/Am*          Dm
 We argued just the other night.
Am*/Ab/Am*                 F       /E/F
     I thought we'd got it straight,
Am*/Ab/Am*
 We talked and talked,
   Dm
Un-til it was light.

Chorus 3:

C  C/B            Am
 I thought we'd a-greed,
Dm  Em7          G
 I  thought we'd talked it out.
C           C/B    Am
 Now when I try to speak,
    Am/G      F       Am
She says that I don't care,
             Dm
She says I'm unaware,
Dm7                   G
 And now she says I'm weak.

Outro:

Am  F  Dm  Em  G, Am
