Intro:

A C#m Dmaj7 Bm

Verse:

A C#m Dmaj7

Well the grass always looked green,

Bm A

On the other side to him

C#m Dmaj7

And his conscience wasn't clean

Bm A

When he thought of where he'd been

C#m Dmaj7

He's betrayed his only friend

Bm A

And it ate him up inside

C#m Dmaj7

Was it really worth the pain

Bm (stop)

For the pleasure of that night?

He's thrown it all away

C#m Dmaj7 Bm

A C#m Dmaj7 Bm

Pre-chorus:

A C#m

Damj7

Well he didn't have to think too much,

Bm A

He took the invitiation

C#m Dmaj7

And he promised he'd stay in touch

Bm A

But he had no intention

C#m Dmaj7

And he never considered the guilt he'd feel

Bm A

When the sun entered the sky

C#m Dmaj7

But as hindsight came around

Bm Dmaj7

It detached him from his pride

A F#m D A

And he thought that he could cope alone without her

C#m E

Bm1

But there's just something about her

Chorus:

C#m Dmaj7

Oh you've thrown it all away

E7 A

And you won't get no pity from her

C#m Dmaj7 E2

And there's no one else to blame

A C#m Dmaj7

Oh you've poured it down the drain

E7 A

And it's not getting much easier

C#m Dmaj7 E2

You're the only one to blame

A C#m Dmaj7 Bm

Pre-chorus:

A C#m Dmaj7

And all the time he'd spent with her

Bm A

Has faded in the distance

C#m Dmaj7

Inebriation took its toll

Bm A

And it had blurred his vision

C#m Dmaj7

If he could turn back time he gladly would

Bm A

But he had no magic watch

C#m Dmaj7

And as hindsight came around

Bm Dmaj7

It had tied him up in knots

A F#m D A

And he thought that he could cope alone without her

C#m E

Bm1

But there's just something about her

Chorus:

C#m Dmaj7

Oh you've thrown it all away

E7 A

And you won't get no pity from her

C#m Dmaj7 E2

And there's no one else to blame

A C#m Dmaj7

Oh you've poured it down the drain

E7 A

And it's not getting much easier

C#m Dmaj7 E2

You're the only one to blame

(Well the grass wasn't so green)
