Written and sung by Fred LeBlanc

>From the MCA album "Are you with me?"

Previously released on the Monkey Hill/Ichiban "It Means Escape"

This song is really very simple, and only uses G, C, D, and Em. However,

they use a cheating C (C9?) and put the 3rd finger on the 2nd string, not

the first, for the G.

= 320030

=032030

=000232

=022000

This way, (Except for Em), the 3rd finger stays planted the whole song.

Tina says "don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb

we've broken down and broken up so much that I am numb

talk about, don't shout about, the people we've become"

There's a little girl who's crying over here.

Note that lines 2 and 4 are different from 1 & 3, which are the same.

Each verse is the same.

Chorus

Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried

(repeat this pattern 3 times)

How do you tell someone you don't love them?

How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?

How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
