steal for £3 in fopp. i play it acoustic so its just the chords but ive tabbed the lovely 
lead guitar chorus riff. watch for the timing as its a bit funny - typical coral

whole song lyrics:
I've got something to tell you
But I can't find the words
I could have sworn that I have told you
You said you never heard
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing
Just you and me
I had so much to say
But my mouth it went dry
For my thoughts were on display
I've laid down and died
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing
Just you and me
Ooohh...
I've got something to show you
But my actions let me down
All the words I had to tell you
Were nowhere to be found
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing
Just you and me
