At exactly what you took

His little hand round my thumb

B
Other than to leave you
E
All those years I lost my voice
Shouting over nothing
Ebm
E Ebm
Never would be easy to hear babe
E Ebm
What you have got nothing to fear babe
E Ebm
Just think of all the things that I've done to you

Anytime you're wanting me back girl

I haven't noticed much has changed

Loving someone's hard enough

Don't think I don't think of you now
I'm with you every day dear

By god I don't)

~ Who Told You ~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro: C
A Bm
It all makes sense now I've calmed down
A Bm
I should have seen it coming from miles down the road
A Bm
But at the time we never think
A Bm
That it might've been ourselves to blame at all
A Bm
You shudder and beat your chest
A Bm
But you'll never warm yourself up believe me
A Bm
Where were you? I'd made it through
A Bm
But only god can judge me now, I hope he's in
C
Why do hearts break
Bm
When we are on our own
D C Bm
Just when you need to pump the life back in yourself?
C
And why do earthquakes
Bm
Happen miles away
D C Bm
When I only want the open ground to swallow me?
A Bm
Who told you I'd not come through
A Bm
Before I could speak to you in my defence?
A Bm
Who made you the righteous one
A Bm
When I'd only turned around for half an hour?
C
Why do chalk lines
Bm
Tell an empty tale
D C Bm
And surely it's bad enough to end up on the floor?
C
And you can scratch your chin
Bm
I think you understand
D C Bm
But how can you know what's going on inside my head?
D C Bm
Maybe I'm better off alive and in my bed

CAPO 1
A C A G
Everyday I wake up in a new world
A C A G
The weather's just as bad and it looks the same
A C A G
But every morning hosts a new beginning
A C A G
And curses me with a brand new name
D
I fell in love again today
E
I think that's been everyday this week
D
I don't need to know a thing about them
E
I don't need to know a name or hear them speak
D
It took a while to see the uniform
E
But I kept on looking while everyone else stared
D
Then I thought I saw her in the queue
E
And I'm still angry that she thought I thought she cared
A
C A G
Maybe I'm just giving too much away
A C A G
The real me's too easily revealed
A C A G
I didn't think I was looking for a girlfriend
A C A G
But then again I thought all my wounds had healed
D
I fell in love again today
E
I think that's been everyday this week
D
I don't need to know a thing about them
E
I don't need to know a name or hear them speak
D
You cracked a joke about a mid-life crisis
E
But realistically I'm already half way gone
D
My eyes are wet when I'm watching the telly
E
I'm completely sober and I'm not even sure what's on
D
I think it's time I started branching out
E
And work out when it's right to keep my mouth shut
D
I think it's time I started staying in
E
And stop pretending that I'm just another slut
D
It took a while to see the uniform
E
And I kept on looking while everyone else stared
D
Then I thought I saw her in the queue
E D
And I'm still angry she thought I thought she cared
