The Pale Fountains


Tom: Bm

Am 
        You were the one who said look boy you’re always running
Dm                                                                            
But you didn’t know the things that I had on top of me
G                                                                Abm       
    And this wall to wall thing that you’re all so very fond of 
Am                                       G
        Well it’s harming me 
Am
      And when I met you in the subway station
Dm
You looked as though you hadn’t seen the queen’s face for a while
G                                           Abm
Well I ain’t got much but you can take my future
Am                                          G
It’s not doing me any good so you can lend it for a while
Am
Why why why why why
Dm
Come on, why do you want to say these things to me
G                                                   Abm
I’m gonna stay so, far away from you girl
Am                                        G
That’s if you stay so, far away from me

And I’m tired of losing you

         Em
But if I can get some sleep tonight
         G                                A
You’ll know it’s almost half the fight for me
