As recorded by Status Quo (From the 209 Album BACKBONE) [Intro] D5 [Verse 1]
C5
I got the message, I'm backing off

                      G5       D5
I got the message, so now I know

C5
So now I know it, I'm checking out

                      G5         D5
So now I know it's the way it goes

    A5             D5
Whenever I come near

     A5                 G5  D5
It's oh, so crystal clear
[Chorus]

I got the picture, I gotta go

                      G5        D5

I gotta take it, I'm backing off

                    G5     D5
So can I make it? I gotta go

    A5                D5
You whispered in my ear

Why don't you disappear?
