[Intro] (2x) C F#7 Bm A6/9 G Em F#7 [Verse 1]
C           F#7            Bm
I didn't notice anything strange

           A6/9                     G    Em   F#7
About the picture in your picture frame

         C            F#7            Bm
It was drawn of a fountain in your Paris

                  A6/9            Em
Bought for a fiver most probably

                F#7
Didn't mean a lot to me, a lot to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                              Em
You tell me that you'd never sell this

Am                             Em
That the artist himself was beneath this

Am                          Em
That life itself was within this

Dm                                          G7
And I looked at the sky to worship the ground
[Chorus]
                                    C
And you never asked for nothing at all

        G                             Am
Even as the wolves glowered at your door

         Em              Dm        Em/B      Dm       G7
And you do your best to fold me and unfold me again
[Verse 2]
C               F#7             Bm
Time will make fools of us all

                   A6/9           G    Em   F#7
It's time to find meaning or control

        C         F#7            Bm
Every time we go out now you pretend

                    A6/9            Em
Pretend we're not lovers, just friends

       F#7
And it gets to me, gets to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                           Em
You tell me the meaning of life is

Am                          Em
To be happy and to give up loss

Am                                    Em
But you've never lost something you loved

Dm
But I turn around

                         G7
How could I be angry at you?
[Chorus]
G7                                    C
When you never asked for nothing at all

     G                              Am
Even as the wolves glowered at your door

       Em               Dm           Em/B       Dm
And you do your best to fold me and unfold me again

      Em/B     Dm
And unfold me again

        G7                            C
And you never asked for nothing at all
