Verse 1:
C#m/CC#m                A/G#A F#m
/                   / ()
        My girl's mad at me.
C#m/CC#m          F#m
/             
       I didn't wanna see the film tonight.
C#m/CC#m                   A/G#A F#m
/                      / ()
        I found it hard to say.
C#m/CC#m                 F#m
/                    
       She thought I'd had e-nough of her.
Chorus 1:
E    E/D#      C#m
 Why can't she see;
F#m    E         B
 She's lovely to me?
E      E/D#         C#m     C#m/B   A
 But I like to stay in, and watch T.V.
C#m    F#m        F#m7    B
 On my own, every now and then.
Verse 2:
C#m/CC#m                A/G#A F#m
/                   / ()
        My girl's mad at me.
C#m/CC#m            F#m
/               
       Been on the tele-phone for an hour.
C#m/CC#m                  A/G#A F#m
/                     / ()
        We hardly said a word.
C#m/CC#m                  F#m
/                     
       I tried and tried, but I could not be heard.
Chorus 2:
E    E/D#       C#m
 Why can't I ex-plain?
F#m       E         B
 Why do I feel this pain?
E           E/D#    C#m              C#m/B  A
 'Cos every-thing I say, she doesn't, under-stand,
            C#m F#m                F#m7          B
She doesn't rea-lise; she takes it all the wrong way.
Piano Solo:

Verse 4:
C#m/CC#m                A/G#A F#m
/                   / ()
        My girl's mad at me.
C#m/CC#m              F#m
/                 
       We argued just the other night.
C#m/CC#m                          A/G#A F#m
/                             / ()
       I thought we'd got it straight,
C#m/CC#m                    F#m
/                       
       We talked and talked, un-til it was light.
Chorus 3:
E  E/D#           C#m
 I thought we'd a-greed,
F#m             E         B
 I thought we'd talked it out.
E           E/D#   C#m                 C#m/B     A
 Now when I try to speak, she says that, I don't care,
             C#m  F#m               F#m7     B
She says I'm un-a-ware, and now she says I'm weak.
