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
() () () (Let ring)
Cos you don t know anything
