Verse 1:
--------
I [A]have to admit that I am [Dsus2]one of the many who [F#m]thought that a guitar would [E]win him a lady
My [A]teenage years, they were a [Dsus2]feminine drought, and I [F#m]thought that a sere[E]nade would help out
It [A]seemed to be working for a [Dsus2]couple of years - I [F#m]wrote a few songs and they [E]wrought a few tears
But when [A]I hit my twenties, it [Dsus2]ran out of steam. I [F#m]seemed to be suffering from ro[E]mantic fatigue
Chorus:
-------
And [F#m]I never [Dsus2]know which song I should [A]play her, each [E]melody is
[F#m]A memo[Dsus2]ry of a [A]not-forgotten f[E]ailure
So when [A]I get o[E]ut my guitar ton[F#m]ight, to [E]do what I[Dsus2] do, remember
I probably didn't [E]write this song for you
(Repeat Intro)
Verse 2:
--------
And so [A]as I have mentioned, the [Dsus2]shelf-life was short - the [F#m]scheme wasn't working, des[E]pite what I
thought
The [A]ladies all left me a[Dsus2]lone in the end, so I [F#m]had to switch the names around and then[E] sing it again
Bridge:
-------
[Bm]Every [E]life-long-love[A], and [E]every be[F#m]st friend
[Bm]Slipped a[E]way into the [A]past[A7]
[Bm]Take my [E]words with ca[A]ution, I [E]can't pret[F#m]end that you're the [Dsus2]first
You won't be the [E]last
Chorus (Extended):
------------------
And [F#m]I never [Dsus2]know which song I should [A]play her, each [E]melody is
[F#m]A memo[Dsus2]ry of a [A]not-forgotten f[E]ailure
So wh[A]en I get [E]out my guitar ton[F#m]ight, to [E]do what I[Dsus2] do, remember
I probably didn't [E]write this song
No I [Dsus2]certainly didn't [E]write this song
No I [Dsus2]never, never [E]wrote a song for you[Dsus2]
