E9           E
talking to Mary
E/F#                       G     A9 A9/B
you know you don't have to shout
C                        C5b
she can hear what you're thinking
D                                 F   Em
like you were saying it right out loud
E9       E
I'm sure she 
E/F#                   G     A9 A9/B
sees behind that dirty look
C               C5b
it was her that followed 
D                               F   Em
down every stupid turn that you took

chorus:
   C/G    D  C7M  G (w/fill)

C/G D          C7M  G
one day she'll go
C/G D          C7M  G
I   told you   so
C/G D          C7M  G
one day she'll go
C/G D          C7M  G
I   told you   so

E9          E
saw the one big 
E/F#                        G     A9 A9/B
problem you keep under your hat
    C             C5b
and it's pretty unlikely that
D                            F   Em
anybody else'll be cool with that
    E9                      E
you got bus fare in your pocket
E/F#                    G     A9 A9/B
more money down in your sock
C                             C5b
but she can't tell you how to contact
D                              F    Em
her if you won't listen to her talk

C/G D          C7M  G
one day she'll go
C/G D          C7M  G
I   told you   so
C/G D          C7M  G
one day she'll go
C/G D          C7M  G
I   told you   so

C       B7
it's no problem 
               Am
I'll just keep quiet
                   F 
if it's easier for you
C         B7
to make believing
             Am 
that I don't love you 
             F
as much as I do

C/G D          C7M  G
one day she'll go
C/G D          C7M  G
I   told you   so
C/G D          C7M  G
one day she'll go
C/G D          C7M  G
I   told you   so
C/G D          C7M  G
I   told you   so
C/G D          C7M  G
I   told you   so
