The intro is a bit random and goes on for quite a while - ur gonna have to ad-lib
it a bit. It takes a while to get the strum pattern sorted cos it changes throughout
the song, so good luck boyo's.

Intro: A                  B                 E(let ring)
       E(fast strums down)E                 E                E

       C#m                B                 A                B

Verse 1:
          E(let ring)
       An ending fitting for the start
           A(let ring)
       You twist and tore our love apart
            C#m(strum)    B
       Your light fingers through the dark
       A                       B
       Shattered the lamp into darkness they cast us
       E(let ring)
       No, you've got it all wrong way round
           A(let ring)                      C#m(strum)
       You shot me up, and blamed it on the brown
                               B
       Cornered the boy kicked out to the world
           A                    B
       The World kicked back, a lot fuckin' harder now.
         
Pre-chorus:
       E
       If you wanna try, if you wanna try 
       C#m
       There's no worse you could do, uh oh oh
       E
       I know you lie, I know you lie
       C#m
       But I'm still in love with you
              B                          A
       Uh oh oh, can't take me anywhere, I take you anywhere
       B                           A
       You can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere
       F#m                            B
       Oh I'll take you anywhere that you wanna go

Chorus:
       E(quietly)                                          A
       Oh, you can't stand me now, (no, you can't stand me now)
                                                       E 
       You can't stand me now, (Oh, you can't stand me now)
                                                       A 
       You can't stand me now, (No, you can't stand me now)
                                                       E
       You can't stand me now, (Oh, you can't stand me now) 

Verse 2:       
       E                                A
       Have we done enough to keep it together?
       C#m                B
         Or do we just keep on pretending       
       A                      B
         And hope our luck is never ending, no.
       E                                                  A
         You tried to pull the wool, I wasn't feeling too clever
               C#m      B
       And you take all that you lending
       A
         Until you needed mending, no.

                                                       E

                                                       A
