After all these years you would have thought by now someone uploaded the 100% CORRECT chords that 
THE KOOKS actually play.....anyway since the new album is coming out later this year I got inspired 
to upload the correct version of one of their best singles.

For strumming pattern listen to the song and try to get a sense of the slightly off beat rhythmic 
muting strumming style they got going on.

Verse:

G#m                     E                                   F#/D
I'm not saying its your fault, although you could have done more
          B    B2
Oh you're so naive yet so
G#m                 E                            F#/D
How could this been done, by such a smiling sweetheart
    B                  B2
Ohh and your sweet and pretty face
G#m                    E                  F#/D
In such an ugly world, something so beautiful.
         B            B2
Ohh that every time I look inside

Chorus:

E           B                  D#7
I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking
E                     B                       D#7
True or false, it may be... Well, she's still out to get me
E           G#m                D#7 
I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking
E                     B                 D#7
True or false, it may be... She's still out to get me!
