C	G
Girl of Mine
C	G	C
Where did we go wrong
C			G
You never once said you loved me
	C		G
And you never once called my name
          Am    D
And now I, I can see the way
	Em
My memories like cigarettes
	Am
Blow smoke upon the screen
    Em	   	Bm
I stare up to the empty face
	C	       D
That hangs inside my dreams
	G	        D
In the words of love I hesitate
         Em	        Em7	C       D
They all come rushing into me too late, too late


C	G
Days and nights
C	    G	     C
Wondering what could it be
C   		G
Did you need somebody stronger
C		     G	       Am
Someone to see you through, oh girl
D
I never knew
        Em
Now your lipstick and  your powder
	Am
They^?re all put away in drawers
	Em		Bm
But the traces of our love affair
        C		      D
Still hide behind the doors
G	          D
I lie awake, afraid to sleep
	    Em  	          Em7	       C
^?Cause I^?ll see the face I knew I^?d never keep
	  D
I^?d never keep


	     C    G
Too much to bear
	       Am	Em
Too much, I fall down drunk
	    C
Too much I care

(Solo same as verses)


C	G
Tell me now
C		G			C
Do the words of love still seem the same to you
C			G
Now we learned the angry lesson
C			G
And we still come back for more
Am			  D
Forget somehow, what came before
Em
My senses have been shocked
	Am
And I^?m alive to every pain
	Em		  Bm
Your quiet laughter comes to me
       C		D
It echoes in the rain
	G		  D
In the darkness of my lonely room
     Em  		       Em7	C
I pray that you won^?t fade away too soon
          D
Too soon


	      C  G
Too much to bear
		Am    Em
Too much, I fall down drunk
	     C	G
Too much I care
