   C    Gsus4   C                 F
Maureen   how I wish I could have been

  C          Gsus4      C                 F
A better man   than the one that you have seen

Am7            Gsus4    C             F
 Too scared to live and too afraid to dream

       Gsus4  G
Maureen
[Verse 1]
           F       C              G     Am7
I know I've underwhelmed and I've overstayed

      F             C                          G                 Am7
And I never say the right things at the right time in the right way

       F             C                    G             Am7
I know I've cost you more than I've ever helped you to save

    F         G
Maureen I've seen

              F         C                   G          Am7
That now I've   let you down more than I've lifted you up

      F                 C                  G             Am7
And I couldn't hold you close so I've been holding you up

      F                C              G              Am7
And I know I've always been the empty half of the cup

               F         Gsus4
That you keep so clean
[Chorus 2]
   C    Gsus4   C                   F
Maureen   how I wish you could have seen

  C          Gsus4      C               F
A better man   than the one that I have been

Am7         Gsus4        C               F
 Too brittle to bend and too straight to lean

       Gsus4  Gsus4
Maureen
[Verse 2]
              F    C                 G      Am7
Ah but you've  overridden and you've  undermined

        F             C                      G           Am7
And you often say the cruelest things at the hardest of times

              F            C         G           Am7
You've not forgotten or forgiven any one of my crimes

    F          G
Maureen come clean

            F          C               G         Am7
For now you  treat me like one of your household chores

             F                C         G                 Am7
And though I hate to hear you crying outside your bedroom door

  F               C             G           Am7
I just can't do this deafening silence any Maureen

   F                Gsus4
I'm tired of this scene
[Chorus 3]
   C    Gsus4   C                   F
Maureen   how I wish you would have been

    C   Gsus4        C               F
Willing   to meet me somewhere in-between

    Am7    Gsus4      C         F
The devi-i-il and the deep blue sea

       Gsus4  Gsus4
Maureen
[Instrumental] C G C F C G C F Am Gsus4 C F Gsus4 G [Outro]
F*              C*            G*            Am7*
 D'you remember how I used to make you laugh

    F*             C*         G*              Am7*
And walking by the harbour as light turned to dark

    F*           C*           G*         Am7*
The sunsets soft as silk on my mothers scarf

               F*
Was it all a dream

Gsus4*            Cmaj7*
       Maureen
