D                               G     D
Everything she says to me means nothing.  (Intro Riff)
D                           A    D
Even words of sympathy mean nothing.          ''
D                                        G    D
I'm feeling down and I hate the sound of nothing. ''
D                                      A    D
What's the point in hanging 'round for nothing? ''
 
-CHORUS-
 
D------->Bm                               D
And I can't remember falling in love with you
 
(play this on "you")

G-------------------------| (notes on the D string are
D--(4---5-5-s/-7-7--7-7---|-  optional - they aren't played
A---5---7-7-s/-9-9--9-9---|  in the song)
E-------------------------|
 
         G         E                          A
This is agony, and you know you're putting me through
 
(play this on "through")

A-----------------|
E-----------------|
     G   A  Bm              G   A  F#
This mis-er-y, taking every mem-or-y
                      G   A  D           G
Just tell me why this mis-er-y won't go away
             Gm
How can we carry on this way?
 
(Intro riffs x 2)
 
D                               G   D
I find it hard to hold a conversation
D                                  A   D
And being with her's just an aggrivation
D                                   G    D
I could stay but I haven't got the patience
D                              A   D
I'm sick of her pathetic explanations

(Finger-pick these chords)
D                     Gm                        D
You'll never bring me down, 'cause I'm so far above you
                  Gm       D                        Gm
