[Verse 1]
CNot out of the woods yetAm  
I haven't brought the goods yetG6  
Are we here to say goodEmbye?
CI wish I could support you
AmI wish I could afford to
G6Give me one more chance to Emshine
And if CI don't live up to this
AmI'll stay in the wilderness
G6Staring at a lonely Emsky
CIt's what I deserve
AmWhat I should be reduced to
G6And I won't even ask
EmWhy you brought me in your car boot, and
[Chorus]
CI Amam curious as G6to
EmWhy you're so furious
CAnd I know your Ammoods are seriousG6  Em  
[Verse 2]
CWe could've gone anywhere
AmIf you wanna shoot the breeze
G6But I remember you said
EmYou're at one with the trees
CIf you're sick of my questions
AmI won't say a word
G6But one quick suggestion
EmFuck what you heard
CIf this is a test, dearAm  
I wanna pass, flying colours
G6And baby, we're the best, we'reEm  
Better than the others, so

[Verse 3]
CWhat's that in your bag, dear?Am  
I hope it's just a kissG6  
You shouldn't be so mad, dear
EmOn a night as clear as this
CI hope that's not a hammer
AmI pray it's just a rose
G6Stop thrashing at my head, love
EmStop pulling on my clothes
CI'm starting to feel weak, babe
AmIt's cold here on the grass
G6I can't even speak, babe
EmBut I really need to ask
CWas it something that I did?
AmI need to be reminded
G6I need to be reEmminded
CI've got it, I know it's too lateAm  
I wish I could explain
G6Please don't walk away
EmMy sight's beginning to fade
CAnd the lights are turning to grey
AmAnd the night is starting to changeG6  Em  
Sorry I missed your birthday
C Am G6 Em

[Verse 1]

C Am

Not out of the woods yet

I haven't brought the goods yet

Are we here to say goodbye?

I wish I could support you

I wish I could afford to

G6 Em

Give me one more chance to shine

And if I don't live up to this

I'll stay in the wilderness

G6 Em

Staring at a lonely sky

It's what I deserve

What I should be reduced to

And I won't even ask

Why you brought me in your car boot, and

[Chorus]

C Am G6

I am curious as to

Why you're so furious

C Am G6 Em

And I know your moods are serious

[Verse 2]

We could've gone anywhere

If you wanna shoot the breeze

But I remember you said

You're at one with the trees

If you're sick of my questions

I won't say a word

But one quick suggestion

Fuck what you heard

C Am

If this is a test, dear

I wanna pass, flying colours

G6 Em

And baby, we're the best, we're

Better than the others, so

[Chorus]

C Am G6

I am curious as to

Why you're so furious

C Am G6 Em

And I know your moods are serious

C Am G6 Em

[Verse 3]

C Am

What's that in your bag, dear?

I hope it's just a kiss

You shouldn't be so mad, dear

On a night as clear as this

I hope that's not a hammer

I pray it's just a rose

Stop thrashing at my head, love

Stop pulling on my clothes

I'm starting to feel weak, babe

It's cold here on the grass

I can't even speak, babe

But I really need to ask

Was it something that I did?

I need to be reminded

G6 Em

I need to be reminded

C Am

I've got it, I know it's too late

I wish I could explain

Please don't walk away

My sight's beginning to fade

And the lights are turning to grey

Am G6 Em

And the night is starting to change

Sorry I missed your birthday
