Halfway Round The World - from Letters Never Sent - 1994

G
Thank you for informing me
     D                  Em
That I was banned from Canada
                  G
It comes as no suprise to me
D                  Em
Last month it was Africa
D                        C
Since you?ve been ambassador
          Em            A7
There?s trouble at the border
Em     G   D   Em G
La la la la la la la
D                        Em
Halfway ?round the world

G                     G
It?s amusing but it makes me wince
       D             Em
Your face is like a scimitar
                   G
When accidentally eye to eye
      D                Em
You shoot a look like vinegar
D                   C
What could I have done to you
    Em               A7
To make you act the way you do
Em     G   D   Em G
La la la la la la la
D                       Em
Halfway ?round the world

Am      
For whatever reason
            G     Bm
You would keep me
Am                   G       D
Halfway ?round the world
Am                             G     Bm
I believe it?s like a kind of compliment
C       Am7         D
I must be quite a girl, "quite a girl"
Em     G   D   Em G
La la la la la la la 
D                       Em
Halfway ?round the world

Am                                 G     Bm
Once upon a time you swore you?d love me
Am                    G       D
?Til the end of the world
Am                           G       Bm
Now, nowhere is far enough away for you
C       Am          D
I must be quite a girl, "quite a girl..."
Em     G   D   Em G
La la la la la la la 
D                       Em
Halfway ?round the world
