I never Dmeant to say you were the Emthorn in either sidCe,
It was a Dside effect from the Emscars on the forty-fiCves.
And as the vDinyl sticks, it remEminds me of what we havCe,
Despite the things yoDu doEm, you know I'm a Cfool for you.
D Em C
They say a lDegal kiss is not as gEmood as a stolen oCne,
We put our lDives on show and yet we Emsing to a different sonCg.
And from the Dbassinet to the Emgraveside we never walkC,
Of everything I've Dlost, EmI miss my Cmind the most.
EmI never once understCood your dealings,
AmA group of friends who I'd Dgive what for.
EmAnd I could name every crCack on our ceiling,
A sAmight of tDhorns.
EmAm I a frame in your Cbigger picture?
AmA rubber ring for your sDtormy seas?
EmIf I could be just a tCrain fare richer
AmI'd change my Dneeds
I'd change my DneedsEm  
I'd change my Cneeds
I'd change my DneedsEm

And in the Dhalf light a rush of vEmiolence is in the pClace,
And if a Dlook could kill you'd need a lEmicence for your facCe.
You say that Dlove is blind and I'm the Emone who restored your Csight.
The girl who never kDnows, EmI'm the girl who never Cknows
EmI never once understCood your dealings,
AmA group of friends who I'd Dgive what for.
EmAnd I could name every crCack on our ceiling,
A sAmight of tDhorns.
EmAm I a frame in your Cbigger picture?
AmA rubber ring for your sDtormy seas?
EmIf I could be just a tCrain fare richer

I'd change my DneedsEm  
I'd change my Cneeds

Intro:

D Em C

I never meant to say you were the thorn in either side,

D Em C

It was a side effect from the scars on the forty-fives.

D Em C

And as the vinyl sticks, it reminds me of what we have,

D Em C

Despite the things you do, you know I'm a fool for you.

D Em C

They say a legal kiss is not as good as a stolen one,

D Em C

We put our lives on show and yet we sing to a different song.

D Em C

And from the bassinet to the graveside we never walk,

D Em C

Of everything I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Em C

I never once understood your dealings,

Am D

A group of friends who I'd give what for.

Em C

And I could name every crack on our ceiling,

Am D

A sight of thorns.

Em C

Am I a frame in your bigger picture?

Am D

A rubber ring for your stormy seas?

Em C

If I could be just a train fare richer

Am D

I'd change my needs

D Em

I'd change my needs

D Em

I'd change my needs

D Em C

And in the half light a rush of violence is in the place,

D Em C

And if a look could kill you'd need a licence for your face.

D Em C

You say that love is blind and I'm the one who restored your sight.

D Em C

The girl who never knows, I'm the girl who never knows

Em C

I never once understood your dealings,

Am D

A group of friends who I'd give what for.

Em C

And I could name every crack on our ceiling,

Am D

A sight of thorns.

Em C

Am I a frame in your bigger picture?

Am D

A rubber ring for your stormy seas?

Em C

If I could be just a train fare richer

Am D

I'd change my needs

D Em

I'd change my needs

D Em

I'd change my needs
