Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I can imagine nothing more tedious

Than trying to have fun with you again

Maybe it's just something in my mind

But I hate feeling like I'm trying all the time

It's a kind of lie

When we pretend that we're still friends

And every time I smile d'you wonder if I'm laughin' at you?

And with every little grin you don't want to be wonderin'

Just exactly what it is I'm taking pleasure in

Guitar melody: Em

Although I always said

We were basically the same and all one

All one

It's so easy to persuade myself

That I'm clockwork and you're quartz

I'm clockwork and you're quartz

Guitar melody: Em

You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled

You're only happy when you wind me up

And I know You're so reliable it isn't true

And it's so easy for me to break down

If I could jump a ride between the skin and silicon then

We could join hands and understand. Hallelujah!

But I listen

to the ticking

I guess we're worlds apart ...

For this part, just follow the Gm/Fm/Ebm/Dm progression until the end, end on Em

It's so hard

So hard

So hard
