[G(9](intro;[Em7] see t[Am7]ab a[-]t [Bm]end)[C]
[G(9] You say[Em7] I only hear what I want to[Am7] [Bm] [C]
[G(9] And you say[Em7] I talk so all the time, [Am7] so[Bm] [C]
[Am7] And I thought what I f[G]elt was simple
[Am7] And I thought that I [G]don't belong
[Am7] And now that [G]I am leaving
[Am7] Now I know that I [G]did something wrong cause I [C(9]missed you

[Am7] Or anywhere[Bm] with yo[C(9]u[C(9]
[Am7] And you said that I [G]was naive
And[Am7] I thought that I was [G]strong, oh

O[Am7]h, but now I know that [G]I was wrong cause I [C(9]missed you
[Cm] Yeah, I[Am7] missed [G]you[Gsus] [Am7] [G]
You said you [Am7]caught me cause you want me and one [Am7]day you'll let me go
You try to [C(9]take away a keeper or [C(9]keep me cause you know
You're just too[Am7] scared to [Bm]lose[C(9] [C(9]
And you say,[G(9] [Em7] stay[Am7] [-] [Bm] [C]
G(9) Em7 Am7 - Bm C.
And you say I only hear what I want to
TAB:
I've transcribed two versions of the intro: the first one is
probably more accurate, the second is probably easier. When I
play it, I play the G(9) the easy way and the rest the hard way.

Thanks for the chords, Laurent ... for those who are interested, here's
