Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Strum between and (/) - a 'down down up down' ryhthm, which continues into the

verse. I like to start on the bottom strings then throw in a few top strings as we get

into the intro..

Verse 1

 (Strumming between and /)

I've got my head down in my books

 I've been reading all weekend,

  (Back to G and /)

But I don't learn anything

Because my mind is full of emptiness,

  (Back to and /)

I've less energy than a stick of celery.

 And then you call me up, down in Jericho,

  To see if I'll go for a drink or two

Chorus 1

  But I don't want you to see,

  What the lonely nights are doing to me,

 Bit my fingers to the bone,

 And I don't want to hear you say,

 You let what happened anyway

  'Cos you don't know anything

BRIDGE / FREAK OUT BIT

 It's a bit weird to work out. I think i strumming between and for a few bars.

 Then hold the for a bar or two longer, then , then back to strumming between

 and (/)

Verse 2

 I was a stronger man than you when I loved Delilah,

  (Back to G and /)

With her pants on fire

But then she cut my hair and left me here,

  (Back to and /)

With more inertia than a limpet on the shore

 When the tide falls so low I feel like letting go,

  Though I should go to my family

Chorus 2

  But I don't want you to see,

  What the lonely nights are doing to me,

 Bit my fingers to the bone,

 And I don't want to hear you say,

 You let what happened anyway

  'Cos you don't know anything

 And I don't want to hear you say,

 You let what happened anyway

  'Cos you don't know anything
