Enid

Barenaked Ladies
 GAmCmG
 Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
 GAmCmF
 Enid we never really knew each other anyway.

 FCGF
 It took me a year to believe it was over,      
 CBmEF
and it took me two more to get over the loss, oh-whoa    
 CGF
I took a beating when you wrote me those letters,    
 CD
and every time I remembered the taste of your lipgloss.

Chorus:
 GAmCmG
 Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
 GAmCmG
 Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
 GAmCmG
 Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway
 GAmCmG
but Enid we never really knew each other anyway.

 FCGF
 There were times when I wanted to hurt you,    
 CBmEF
and there were times when I know that I did, oh-whoa     
 CGF
There were times when I thought I would kill you,   
 CD
but can you blame me I was only a kid.

 AmDGG/F#EmAm
 Tell me why we never really respected each other.      
 DGG/F#EmAm
and tell me why I never believed that you were a person too.    
 DGG/F#EmAm
I always thought that you fancied my brother.                   
 DGG/F#EmAm
I may not have liked it, oh but memory is a strange thing, oh, and Enid?
D G (stacatto)
Enid I remember you.

Chorus

Verse 3: (Same as others)
it took me a year to believe it was over,
and it took me two more to get over the loss.
I took a beating when I wrote you those letters,
and every time you told me to get lost.

 AmD
 Now it's not fair to say that it's
 GG/F#EmAm
'cause I was three inches shorter then,     
 D
and it's not fair to say that it's 'cause
 GG/F#EmAm
 I was only fifteen years old.        
 DGG/F#EmAm
But maybe it's fair to say it was a lack of communication,      
D g G/F# Em Am
I took a phone message, oh and speaking of communication, oh, and Enid,
 D
 Enid you got a cold.

 GAm
 I can get a job I can pay the phone bills
 CmG
I can cut the lawn, cut my hair, cut out my cholesterol
 GAm
 I can work overtime I can work in a mine
 Cm
 I can do it all for you,
G (stacatto)
But I don't want to.

 GAmCmG
 Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
 GAmCmG
 Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
 GAmCmG
 Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
 GAmCmG
 Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway,
 GAmCmG
 But Enid we really never knew each other anyway

(Behind the last part, so same chords)
 GAm
 I can teach you how to dance, how to sing, how to knit,
 CmG
 How to make things that you never ever made before
 GAm
 Enid, I can teach you how to use cookie cutters
 CmG
To make crazy things out of Play-Doh.
 GAm
Little houses, little farms, little accessories for your mom,
 CmG
 For your Barbie set, for your friends and your family
 GAmCm
 Enid, I can teach you how to snowmobile, cross-country ski, snowshoe,
 G
 But I don't want to!

 GAmCmG
 Enid we never really knew each other anyway
 GAmCmG
 Enid we never really knew each other anyway
G (stacatto) Am (stacatto) Cm (stacatto) G (let ring)
Enid we never really knew each other anyway

For the last line, the chords are staggered a bit... that is to say,
they're played a beat or two after they would normally be.
