Am
I’ll pick up your cat and shake her

Em                   Em
till everything falls  out

Dm                            C
whatever she ever ate from my hand

Fmaj7                    E7
Later I search your flat everywhere

Am
and if it’s a hair of my own that I found

Em                     Em
I’ll take it away with me

Dm                         C
nothing shall give you bad memories

E7
give away that I have ever been on your mind

Fmaj7                G
now you may say it’s not that bad

G7                      C
but later when it gets really sad

          E7                      Am       Am
when your past comes down on you heavily

             Dm                 E7                  Am
Then you’d  rather be pure as a new sheet of paper again.
Am Em Dm C Fmaj7 E7 Am [Verse 2]
Am
I also try to be different

Em
Compared to the one I have been

Dm                      C
The salvation army will get all my stuff

     Fmaj7                 E7
and even the trousers you crochet for me

Fmaj                    G
I’ll sit on the carpet, eat out of my hands

        G7                   C
I’ll be watching as many cartoons as I can

E7                     Am
whatever you hated I’m happy to do

      Dm                 E7                  Am
I’ll simply be pure as a new sheet of paper again
Am Em Dm C Fmaj7 E7 Am [Verse 3]
Am
I can’t even go to the sea anymore

Em
where the wind longs for your hair

Dm                     C
where every wave is a sigh

         Fmaj7                   E7
and the seagulls are crying your name in despair

Fmaj7                          G
I can’t stand the sunshine, I can’t stand the rain

  G7                            C
I can’t stand any places where you once have been

      E7          Am
So I run away as far as I can

          Dm                   E7                  Am
But I’ll never be as pure as a new sheet of paper again
[Outro] Am Em Dm C Fmaj7 E7 Am
