[Verse 1]
Am                                Am/G               Am/F#
It hadn't been a day when everything had turned out right

                      Am/F                        F
She called me up and asked me to come over in the night

 E                      Am
To make her cups of tea and listen quietly as she starts

             F                             G                Em
To list the latest list of bastards who have trampled on her heart
[Chorus]
 F                    C
But she summers by my sea

Am7
And she winters without me

      F                    C
And she cries into her tea

            Am    Am/G# Am/G Am/F#
That she's secretly lonely ohh me

    Fmaj7        Em
And what am I to do?

    F          Em
It's obvious to me

         F               C
But she never seems to see
[Verse 2]
Am                                Am/G               Am/F#
I see her in the nightclubs, I see her in the bars

                                           F
At rooftop after-parties, or crammed into friends' cars

         E                    Am
And we talk about the weather, and how she drowns her pain in drink

       F                           G                Em
And I nod and never ever dare to tell her what I think
[Chorus]
  F                    C/E
And she summers by my sea

     Am7
But she winters without me

    Am                  C
And she cries into her tea

           Am           Am/G#
That she's secretly lonely

    Am/G     Am/F#       C/E
And oh me, what am I to do?

   F             C
It's obvious to me

        F            G#+
But she never seems to see

   Em              Am7                 Em                   G
That it's not about the days when everything has turned out right

       Am7                             C                      G
No it's more about the moments when she calls me in the night

  F                                     C                     G
To make her cups of tea and wash the weary worries from her head

     Am               F                     C           G
And then to draw the pain out slowly as I put her into bed

      G#+
And I slip this information

        Am#5
Into all our conversations

          C/E
But she never seems to listen

        F              C
And she never seems to see
