------------------------------
Key of A#, then C#  
Ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer.
------------------------------
INTRO:
 F-  F- Gm... [x4]
VERSE 1:
           Gm(A#)          D#  
You couldn't even show yourself out
          Gm(A#)            D#  
You were so held up by your thoughts
       Gm(A#)          D#  
Along the way we got divided
           Gm(A#)            D#  
And I'm left showing you the door
CHORUS 1:
You couldn't look me in the Feyes
So I'll dim the A#lights
When you Ftake me, out on your A#side
We’re Fspinning, out of A#sight
BeFlieve me, I'm on your A#side
VERSE 2:
         Gm(A#)           D#  
It took so long for me to speak up
         Gm(A#)             D#  
It was the hardest thing to say
    Gm(A#)            D#  
Taken right up to the entrance
          Gm(A#)           D#  
At the last minute turned away
CHORUS 2:
Just can't look you in the Feyes
So let's dim the A#lights
Get a Fcase out, pack up your A#pride
It's Fover; We're out of A#time
DelFete me, I'm on your A#side
