Chords

Std Tuning Not sure why there are so few Squeeze tabs. Not like these are awesome guitar songs, but I know someone out there has heard one on the radio and come in here looking for the chords. Nice little party/campfire song here. I found most of this on the web and worked parts of it into a single tab for ultimate-guitar's archives.

Verse 1: There's a

D           Bm                 |G          D              |
stain on my notebook where your coffee cup was. And there's

D          Bm             |G          D             |
ash in the pages, now I've got myself lost.    I was

D          Bm              |G         D             |
writing to tell you that my feelings tonight,  are a

D           Bm           |G          D              |
stain on my notebook that rings your goodbye. Oh but...

Chorus 1:

Bm              |Bm         |F#              |F#          |
Now she's gone, (*)  and I'm back on the beat.           A

C#m             |C#m        |A               |A           |
stain on my note-book   says nothing to me.      Oh-ho, but..

D               |D          |G               |G           |
Now she's gone, (*)  and I'm out with a friend (out with a...

A               |A                   |
friend).    With lips full of passion

G               |G               |D**
....(oooh).. and coffee ... in .. bed.

(* = background echo "Now she's gone") (** start main riff, play x 4) Verse 2:

         D            Bm              G         D
With the way that you left me I could hardly contain

    D            Bm            G          D
The hurt and the anger and the joy of the pain

    D            Bm                 G           D
Now knowing I am single there'll be fire in my eyes

      D           Bm             G           D
And a stain on my notebook for a new love tonight

Chorus 2 (same as 1) (x1) (Solo - sorry maybe later) Chorus 3: (comes out of solo half way through)

D
Now she's gone (now she's gone)

        G                             A
and I'm out with a friend (out with a friend)

A                        G              D
With lips full of passion and coffee in bed

Verse 3:

      D           Bm             G           D
From lips without passion to the lips with a kiss

        D               Bm             G    D
There's nothing of your love that I'll ever miss

    D           Bm               G          D
The stain on my notebook remains all that's left

       D         Bm              G         D
Of the memory of late nights and coffee in bed

       D          Bm             G         D
Of the memory of late nights and coffee in bed
