This is a slightly simplified version, on the record there is a fast C#m and Bm 
between the D and A 
but this way is a bit easier to play and sing at the same time.



A (x02220@1)            Bm (x24432@1)            C#m (x13321@4)             Bm (x24432@1)When you were satisfying your thirst for success
                D (xx0232@1)And you looked older than I did
A (x02220@1)       Bm (x24432@1)                C#m (x13321@4)            Bm (x24432@1)I didn't think that that was you at your best
         D (xx0232@1)                 A (x02220@1)We were only lonely little kids
        Bm (x24432@1)                 C#m (x13321@4)              Bm (x24432@1)Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes
D (xx0232@1)We were little kids
     A (x02220@1)           Bm (x24432@1)      C#m (x13321@4)         Bm (x24432@1)And you could say sorry ten billion times
     D (xx0232@1)                       A (x02220@1)But sorry didn't do what you did
           Bm (x24432@1)              C#m (x13321@4)             Bm (x24432@1)I threw myself at you and I threw myself away
        D (xx0232@1)                                      A (x02220@1)Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes

Bm (x24432@1)         C#m (x13321@4)  Bm (x24432@1)    D (xx0232@1)              A (x02220@1)Johnny Cash died today and you say, you say things 
        Bm (x24432@1)             C#m (x13321@4)   Bm (x24432@1)Lovely things, to lovely other people
     D (xx0232@1)And I'm not invited.

E (022100@1)             A (x02220@1)          D (xx0232@1)But I love the back garden at my parents' place
     E (022100@1)        A (x02220@1)            D (xx0232@1) And I love the view out of my Glasgow window
     E (022100@1)    A (x02220@1)              D (xx0232@1) And I love waking up on the floor of a flat in New York,
     E (022100@1)            A (x02220@1)         D (xx0232@1)        
 And you don't know any of these things.

A (x02220@1)              Bm (x24432@1)             C#m (x13321@4)              Bm (x24432@1)And I've seen you selling shoes but you've never heard me sing
       D (xx0232@1)                                 A (x02220@1)           Bm (x24432@1)And I used to hate your boyfriend and the things you did
     C#m (x13321@4) Bm (x24432@1)               D (xx0232@1)         
 Somehow I found out and I was disappointed
     A (x02220@1)          Bm (x24432@1)             C#m (x13321@4)      Bm (x24432@1) 
 But I don't need therapy because I have cigarettes
       D (xx0232@1)                              A (x02220@1)            Bm (x24432@1)And I don't have any bad memories only bitter regrets
             C#m (x13321@4)  Bm (x24432@1)            D (xx0232@1) Johnny Cash died today and I could take a train
                     A (x02220@1)                 Bm (x24432@1)            C#m (x13321@4)     Bm (x24432@1)And take an hour to think on the way of what I would say when I saw you
             D (xx0232@1)                                          A (x02220@1)           
 And I could walk into the shop and buy myself some black platform shoes 
 Bm (x24432@1)                   C#m (x13321@4)            Bm (x24432@1)Talk to all the other girls and just ignore you      
            D (xx0232@1)                                         A (x02220@1)Or I could rush into the shop and tell you that I adore you
Bm (x24432@1)      C#m (x13321@4)'cause I adore you
 Bm (x24432@1)    D (xx0232@1)                                        A (x02220@1)I could rush into the shop and tell you that I adore you
 Bm (x24432@1)        C#m (x13321@4)  Bm (x24432@1)    D (xx0232@1)Johnny Cash died today and you'd say, you'd say

E (022100@1)  A (x02220@1)      D (xx0232@1)It's not like Elvis 
 E (022100@1)  A (x02220@1)      D (xx0232@1)It's not like Elvis
