Intro
Strum between (G) and (G5/E) - a 'down down up down' ryhthm, which continues into the 
verse. I like to start on the bottom strings then throw in a few top strings as we get 
VERSE 1
(Strumming between  Gand G5/E)
I've got my head down in my books
                     (D)
I've been reading all weekend,
                       (Back to G and G5/E)
But I don't learn anything
         (D)                        (Back to  Gand G5/E)
I've less energy than a stick of celery.
             (Am)   (C)         (G)
And then you call me up, down in Jericho,
(G7)             (Am)     (C)      (G)
   To see if I'll go for a drink or two
CHORUS 1
(G7)    (Am)       (C)
   But I don't want you to see,
(G)             (G7)             (Am)
 What the lonely nights are doing to me,
     (C)             (G)    (G7)
Bit my fingers to the bone,
     (Am)          (C)
And I don't want to hear you say,
(G)         (G7)
You let what happened anyway
(Am)       (C)
  'Cos you don't know anything
BRIDGE / FREAK OUT BIT
It's a bit weird to work out. I think i strumming between (A) and (Am) for a few bars. 
Then hold the (A) for a bar or two longer, then (C), then back to strumming between (G) 
and (G5/E)
VERSE 2
                                          (D)
I was a stronger man than you when I loved Delilah,
                     (Back to G and G5/E)
With her pants on fire
          (D)                         (Back to  Gand G5/E)
With more inertia than a limpet on the shore
        (Am)          (C)             (G)
When the tide falls so low I feel like letting go,
(G7)             (Am)(C)       (G)
  Though I should go to my family
CHORUS 2
(G7)    (Am)       (C)
   But I don't want you to see,
(G)             (G7)             (Am)
 What the lonely nights are doing to me,
     (C)             (G)    (G7)
Bit my fingers to the bone,
     (Am)          (C)
And I don't want to hear you say,
(G)         (G7)
You let what happened anyway
(Am)       (C)              (G)    (G7)
  'Cos you don't know anything
    (Am)          (C)
And I don't want to hear you say,
(G)         (G7)
You let what happened anyway
(Am)       (C)              (G)   (Let ring)
