_ _ [B] _ _ Roxy [Abm] tends to be seen [Db] at the moment as a 70s band, [Gm] but we were an 80s band as well.
We [Ab] played well into [B] the 80s.
_ [Eb] _ _
[G] _ No one ever knows when decades begin and end, but I think that you could argue that [Gb] the 80s actually [Abm] started early with _ [Db]
Manifesto and Flesh and Blood.

[Ab] When we came back, I think I'd learnt a lot from the Brightstrip [Eb] Bear album of working with different kind [G] of _ [Abm] _ _ musicians.
[Db] They were kind [Abm] of, I guess, top of the tree session [Ab] players who I learnt a lot from [Eb] perhaps.
I've been in LA, which is as far removed from punk as you get I suppose, or the London punk ethos. _
_ Although I wasn't totally disconnected from it because a lot of the punk bands seemed to have been Roxy [B] fans and so on.
So there was a kind of thread there of _ _ energy.
[Bb] _ _
Trying [B] to revive [Ab] the strength I've all [Db] _ seen.

_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ [B] It was a bit dispiriting having great critical success and not perhaps as many _ _ sales or commercial success [Ab] as perhaps you wanted. _
_ _ [B] And so one always wants more and that's the human [Db] condition here.
As an artist you always like wanting more and more. _
_ _ The music be more intense, more successful, more this, more that.
_ [Ebm] _ _ It's finding your right [G] balance through [E] that that's [G] important I think.
[Em] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ I'm [F] sorry that [Bb] I'm ready to cry. _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] I didn't mean [Em] to hurt you. _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] I'm just a jealous guy.
_ Jealous Guy seemed to be a song that, _ _ [D] _ _ _
I don't think it had been a [Bm] great, like a big single.
I'm not sure if [Em] it ever was a big single by him, I don't know.
It was a kind [Fm] of album track which seemed a [Bb] little bit undiscovered in a way.
[G] And I just thought [Bm] _ that the [C] version he did was very beautiful.
I think [G] Phil Spector had produced it maybe and it had a wonderful haunted quality.
_ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [B] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ I did [Em] that song as a kind [Am] of, really as a one-off [C] in _ a big [G] concert we did in [F] Germany.
_ [C] And it was after the John Lennon [G] tragedy and [F] I thought well let's do this [Gm] song as an encore in the show.
Let's [Gb] rehearse it and do it.
And we did.
_ [E] And it received such an amazing response that we came back to London [G] and the following week recorded it.
_ It was our [A] [Em] number one record. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ I was swallowing [D] my pain. _ _ _
[Em] _ _ I was swallowing [C] my _ pain. _ _
[G] _ I [F] didn't mean to [C] hurt you. _ _ _
[G] _ I'm [F] sorry that [Bb] I made you cry. _ _
[G] _ _ I didn't mean to [Em] hurt you. _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] I'm just a jealous guy. _ _ _ _
