CAPO - 3RD FRET
Made using this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8VRTywJE7Q
(better suited for woman's voice)
Am (2 beats on down strokes) Em(3 beats on up and down strokes) (repeat 4x end on Am and go into the intro)
Am         Em                  Am              E
Both sides, and softly came the growl from both sides
          Am                 Em
And if his whisper splits the mist
                        Am                   E
Just think of what he's capable of with his kiss
Am       Em              Am             E
Nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
                 Am                        Em
Turned your legs to little building blocks
                         Am                 E
And with his index finger flicks you on your socks
Am (2 beats on down strokes) Em(3 beats on up and down strokes) (repeat 4x end on Am and go into next part)
                     Em                        Am               E
I'll go high pitched, he'll talk and make your voice sound high pitched
                     Am                  Em
Dread to think if he got you on your own
                         Am           Em
And whispered in your ear in that baritone
        Am          Em                   Am              E
It's the same stone,   his heart was cut out of the same stone
         Am                     Em                      Am       E
That they used to calve his jaw, it's impossible not to feel inferior 
       Dm                              Am
And he could catapult you back to your daddy
            E               Am
Or into any hissing misery
                    Dm                   Am
And he will tell you how the day after a triumph is as hollow
       E                   Am
As the day after a tragedy
    Dm                        Am
He'll extinguish any chance of escape
                          E               Am
When he slaps you on your arse or kisses your nape
         Dm           Am         E
And he's leaving without saying 'Bye'
Am (2 beats on down strokes) Em(3 beats on up and down strokes) (repeat 4x end on Am and go into next part)
              Dm                        Am                         E                    Am
And you would queue up to listen to him pissing and hang around to watch some poor girl blub
          Dm                             Am                         E                   Am
And then they chase him down the avenue incessantly pestering him to let him join the club 
        Dm                        Am
He knows how to put a cork in the fuss
                Em                   Am
And just how to shut up the charming ones of us
            Dm       Am              E
And they've seen him talking to your lady friend
(Pause)
          Dm         Am                     E
There's a dust track waiting for betrayal
                      Am               E
Where he'll teach you all the bits they missed 
Am (2 beats on down strokes) Em(3 beats on up and down strokes) (repeat 4x end on Am and go into next part)
         Em               Am            E
Nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
Am       Em               Am            E
Nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
Am       Em             Am            E
Nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
Am       Em             Am            E Am
Nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
Am (2 beats on down strokes) Em(3 beats on up and down strokes) (repeat until end of song)
You cannot turn away
