Intro
Progression x 4 (4th time he skips the E/C# and plays the E twice into the A)
[E] [E/C#] [A] [B7]
[E] [E/C#] [A] [B7]
[E] [E/C#] [A] [B7]
[E] [E] [A] [B7]
[--]
Can't pre[E]tend that all is [E/C#]well it's like I'm [A]haunted by a [B7]ghost
There are [E]times I cannot [E/C#]speak your name but I [A]catch it in my [B7]throat
And if [E]I don't sing this [E/C#]song it's out of [A]fear of sour [B7]notes (not sure
if that's 'of' OR 'or')
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
Oh I [E]feel like a [E/C#]miser Oh I [A]feel low and [B7]mean
For a[E]ccusing you of [E/C#]stealing what I [A]offered you for [B7]free
Oh it [E]beggars the [E/C#]belief sometimes what [A]thieves we lovers [B7]be
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
Oh I [E]don't know who you're [E/C#]with these days might [A]be with someone [B7]new
And if you [E]are I hope he [E/C#]treats you like a [A]lover ought to [B7]do
But [E]whoever makes you [E/C#]happy it don't [A]really matter [B7]who
I've got a [E]new lover [E/C#]now I [A]hope you've got a [B7]lover too
Progression x 4 (E E/C# A B7)
Praise the [E]water under [E/C#]bridges praise the [A]time we say we'll [B7]heal
Praise the [E]fonder that [E/C#]still grows on the [A]absent heart and [B7]fields
Praise be [E]to this pain these [E/C#]days it's [A]all I seem to [B7]feel (not
sure on lyric? all the same i fear? all the same i feel?)
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
Perhaps [E]the fault was [E/C#]mine per[A]haps I just ig[B7]nored
Who you were [E]always gonna [E/C#]be instead of [A]who I took you [B7]for
I've been [E]treated worse it's [E/C#]true still [A]I expected [B7]more
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
But I [E]will not chase your [E/C#]shadow as you [A]go from room to [B7]room
Dropping [E]handkerchiefs and [E/C#]daggers smoking [A]guns and other [B7]clues
For what [E]someone did with [E/C#]someone and [A]who did what to [B7]who
I've got a [E]new lover [E/C#]now I [A]hope you've got a [B7]lover too.
Progression x 4
I got a [E]new lover [E/C#]now she [A]knows just what I [B7]need
When I [E]wake up in the [E/C#]night she can [A]read me back my [B7]dreams
And she [E]loves them cause she [E/C#]never needs to [A]tell me what they [B7]mean
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
I got a [E]new lover [E/C#]now I [A]know that she's not [B7]mine
And I [E]only want to [E/C#]hold her I don't [A]need to read her [B7]mind
And she [E]only looks like [E/C#]you when she's [A]in a certain [B7]light
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
I [E]hope you've got a [E/C#]lover now hope you've [A]got somebody [B7]who
Can g[E]ive you what you [E/C#]need like i [A]couldn't seem to [B7]do
But if you're [E]sad and you are [E/C#]lonesome and you've [A]got nobody [B7]true
I'd be [E]lying if I [E/C#]said that [A]didn't make me happy [B7]too.
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
I'd be [E]lying if I [E/C#]said that [A]didn't make me happy [B7]too.
