Tom: A
From: * (Juergen Helmers)
This si another song of the album "waking Hours" by Del
Amitri (1989). It is one of my favourites. It has lovley
chord-progressions and nevertheless is easy to play.
INTRO
2x D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A
D D6sus4 G A D
Nobody's perfect, and that's something
D6sus4 G A
that I'm sure she'll know
D D6sus4 G A
Cause trying to tell her lies from the truth at times
F# G G9
is like trying to divide ice from snow
D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4
And when I knew it was over, I jumped into a taxi
G A
And said "Guess were to go"
D D6sus4
And the driver turned about and said,
G A
"Finding what you want is like
F# G G9
Trying to divide ice from snow"
A A9 G G9
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
A
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4 G G9
That I never guessed
D D9sus4 D6sus4
But from this side of morning
G A A7 A6sus4 A D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.
D D6sus4 G A
Nobody's helpless, although
D D6sus4 G A
I've never felt this helpless before
D D6sus4 G A
And trying to persuade myself not to think about her
F# G G9
Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour
D D6sus4 G
And so I put down the bottle
A D D6sus4
While in my head time is collapsing
G A
And the currents run cold
D D6sus4
So I can curse her memory
G A F#
But don't try telling me that she was not
G
An emerald in a mountain of coal
G9 F#
Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer
G G9
At the end of the rainbow.
A A9 G G9
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
A
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4 G G9
That I never guessed
D D9sus4 D6sus4
But from this side of morning
G A A7 A6sus4 A D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.
A G
And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive
D
But will forget
G
So take my from this party, driver
A
put me back to bed
A G D
I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead
G A A9
So if this taxi is for hire
G
I'll get in the back
G9 A A7 A6sus4 A
Just to tell the friction of the tarmac and the tyres.
D D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A
D D6sus4 G A D
So nobody's perfect, and that's something that
D6sus4 G A
I'm sure she'll know
D D6sus4
And trying to persuade myself
G A
Not to think about her is like
F# G G9
Trying to tell the crockels not to crow
F#
Or like trying to tell the striker
G G9
Not to think about the goal.
A A9 G G9
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
A
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4 G G9
That I never guessed
D D9sus4 D6sus4
But from this side of morning
G A A7 A6sus4 A D D6sus4 G A
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.

From: * (BoogieBoy)
This song was recently transcribed by * (Juergen
Helmers).
I made some changes (changes are defined as corrections and personal
preferences).
I put the capo on the 2nd fret, changed the intro, changed the end of each
verse and the end of the song. Either way... great tune.
