Chords

[Intro] G C G C G C Am D x2 [Verse 1]
G                            C
I've kept my head against the wall

G                        C
I've been this way for so long now

G                      C
You weren't exactly falling over yourself

Am     D
  When last I saw you

G             C
Well I always thought

G                     C
We'd get along like a house on fire

G                          C
Until you told me that I'd have to go

Am                         D
How can someone like you, work that slow?
[Chorus]
G             C
 Whatever you think of me

G                          C
You listen hard and I will make you see

G             C
 Whatever you think of me

Am                         D
You listen hard and I will make you see
[Instrumental] G C G C G C Am D [Verse 2]
G                     C
I don't feel anything no more

G                      C
This state of grace is consuming me

G                    C
I'm not grown up and I am not a boy

Am                 D
I feel no pain and I feel no joy

G              C
Well, I always thought

G                     C
We'd get along like a house on fire

G                       C
 In those days when the sun was warm

Am                   D
I ran in the street where I was born
[Chorus]
G             C
 Whatever you think of me

G                          C
You listen hard and I will make you see

G             C
 Whatever you think of me

Am                         D
You listen hard and I will make you see
[Instrumental] G C Am D G C Am D G C Am D [Bridge]
G                        C
The streets are so empty at this time of night

Am                    D
I'd rather walk on my own than fight

G                    C
In a world where I'd forgotten you

Am             D
I found myself forgotten, too

G                    C
That's the danger of believing books

Am                  D
And all the lies of those thieves and crooks

G                    C
We sing intellectual songs of love

Am                     D             G
From a stolen pen to a velvet glove, ooh
