The Courteeners – New Romantic (Guitar)

G                                Dsus4/F#
I know I said I loved you but I'm thinking I was wrong,

         Bm                   Em
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young,

       Am                              D                G
And I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.

G                                           Dsus4/F#
But a girl that I could never get 'cause her boyfriend was pretty fit

       Bm                  Em
And everyone who knew him loved him so.

       Am                            D
And I made you leave him for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean,

       Bm                           Em                            Am  D
But my mind has thrown me over more times than anyone could ever know.

Em                       Am
Maybe I should give up, give in

D                     G
Give up trying to be thin,

Em                          Am
Give up and turn towards my mother,

D                 G
God knows I love her.

G                      Bm               Am              D
And I'm sorry to which ever one should meet my sorry state,

          G              Bm               Am       D
Watch my steady lonesome gait and be aware.

        G                                Bm
I would never love again 'cause love and pain go hand in hand

            Am         D
And I can't do it again.

   G                               Dsus4/F#
So we stayed up late one night, to try and get our problems right,

      Bm                             Em
But I couldnt get into her head just what was going through my mind,

  Am                                    D
I think she knew where I was going, cos she put Laura Maeling on

  G                                 Dsus4/F#
I think she thinks it makes me weak it only ever makes me strong,

Bm                                       Em
I've got this friend and he sounds just like her,

    Am                                   D                              G
And she's the one I'd leave you for, the one that I just adore like you.

G                             Dsus4/F#
The same one she turns to me, said "I've got to tell you how I feel,

Bm                                    Em
If god could make the perfect one for me it would be you."

Am                              D
And my god told me not tell her how much do you love your fella.

Bm                       Em
I don't know more every day

Am          D             G
Not in this new romantic way.

F           Am            D     F             Am          D
I'll always be your first love, you'll always be my first love.

        G              Bm             Am               D
And I'm sorry to whichever one should meet my sorry state,

         G               Bm           Am     D
Watch my steady lonesome gait and be aware.

        G                                Bm
I would never love a one 'cause love and pain go hand in hand

            Am         D
And I can't do it again.

        G                                Bm
I would never love a one 'cause I could never hurt someome,

Am          D            G
