We broke up and [E] I didn't see [D] her for a long time.
Then I saw her again [A] and [Dm] she was so beautiful.
[E] [A] Anyway, it inspired this song.
As time went [G] on though, it turned out to be [D] quite a bit more generous song than she deserved.
[N]
[G] [G]
[D] [Bm] [A] [G]
[D] [A] In the forest [G] I found myself
[D] I'm [Bm] thinking [A] about the poor girl for [G] you
[D] [Bm] How long do [A] I know that you [G] would like me [D] more
[Bm] But then you showed me [A] your stupid question
[D] [Gbm] Pretending not to see you [D] look behind you
I [Gbm] took your childish laughter by [D]
surprise
[G] And at the moment I can't help but [Bm] identify you
[G] This is a song for [D] the Lord
[Bm] I believe that [A] I remember
[G] The cheeks of the [D] devil's small
[Bm] I'm happy [A] that I'm not [G] alone
[D] [Bm] When I was [A] thinking what it would [G] mean to have you at [D] all
[Bm] But I'm hoping [A] to [G] see you behind [D] me
[Gbm] But it's too late to [D] say I'm in love [Gbm] with [A] you
For [G] you've gone and you're such a [Bm] perfect stranger
[G] I've always seen you sitting from your eyes
[A] Without any thought for the world
[D] That I'm so [Bbm] wrong
[Bm] From the way
[G] [D] You've been around
I've heard the [Bb] sound of your [Bm] own shits all night
[G] You [D] had to hide sometimes
[Bb] Now it's all right
[D] And did you see the fun in this
[B]
[D] [G] [D] [Bm]
[G] [D] [Bm]
[D] [G] [D] [Bm]
[A] [D] [Bm] I thought you'd heard me
Say that you'd [D] be there for a drink or two
[Bm] But that I feel it never seems [G] to last
[D] And [Bm] while the future's [A] there for a little more to [G] share
You still don't [D] know the change
[Bm] It'll be easier [A] sometimes to [G] change the bed
[D] [Gbm] I've spent ten years of coaching [D] you on you
[Gbm] And my answer is that those pains are [A] disillusioned
And [G] if you feel too free and you need something [Bm] to remind you
Then as long as [G] spring is around
[D] You're bound to go [B] through
[G] It's part of [D] my soul
[Bb] It's part of [Bm] my life
[G] You've known [D] my whole [Bb] life
I've heard the sound of your own shits [Bm] all night
[G] You had [D] to hide sometimes
[Bb] Now [Bm] you're all right
[D] And did you see the fun in this
Fun [E] [G] [D]
[Bm] [D] [G]
[D] [G] [C] [Bm]
[G] [C] [G]
[D]
[A] [E] [G] in the sun
[Bb] Fun in the [Bm] night
[G] You've known [D] my whole [D] time
I've heard all the steps [Bm] you've played
[G] You had [D] to struggle
[Bb] Keep on [Bm] your fight
[G] Keep on [D] the stand
[Bb] And I'm back
