Elvis Costello & The Attractions – Sad About Girls (Guitar)

Cadd2 C     Cadd2 C
To all the girls that awake to

 Cadd2 C      Bb  F
escape in the morning

     Cadd2 C     Cadd2 C
You wanna leave him

    Cadd2 C    Bb  F
without even a warning

     E              Am   Am/G  F
A trace or calling card

Am          Am/G           Em
Sad about girls who know perfectly well

     F            G
Why he's so sad about this girl

F             G
He's so mad about this girl

  C      Bb     A     F  G
Tonight

Cadd2 C
So understanding,

 Cadd2 C         Bb  F
oh, she's so undemanding

Cadd2 C              Cadd2 C
So in control, so on the whole,

      Bb         F
she's so good to you

  E
Until it gets to you

Am         Am/G          F
Sad about girls in your poor little world

         Am          Am/G
That you unwrap and rewrap

     D
and know when she leaves

         Am            Am/G       Em
That the next girl to suffer, you put in your heart

   F                      G
To unwrap and love you, before she can know you

       F                        G
She's just got to show you the way that

                C
you're gonna be sad---

           Cadd2 C
Sad about girls that awake

   Cadd2 C       Bb  F
to escape in the morning

           Cadd2 C     Cadd2 C  Bb  F  E
Get up and leave without even a warning

    Am         Am/G        F
But nowhere is sad as the girls in the night

    Am       Am/G          D
So ready to please you, so ready to bite

Am        Am/G           Em
Sad about girls who know perfectly well

F             G
He's so sad about this girl

F               G
You're so sad about your girl

  C      Bb     A
Tonight

F                 C      Bb     A
Sad about girls tonight

   F                 C      Bb     A     F
So sad about girls tonight
