The Wedding Present
(David Gedge, Graeme Ramsay)
Intro : G#, B
Verse 1:
[G#]There's never really a good tim[B]e [G#]to say goodbye
But don't preten[B]d
[G#]It's not a relief to hear me say:
[B]"I'm [G#]thinking, right now, maybe we should [B]end it"
Chorus 1:
Because it's true[G#][B][A][C#]
The closer I get to you[G#],[B][A][C#]
The further I get away from m[G#]e[B][A][C#]
(the person that I used to be[F#])[B][A][C#][B][E]
Verse 2:
[G#]It wasn't always like this befor[B]e;
[G#]That we were in love there is no doub[B]t
[G#]But I'm not happy anymore and, for that reason, [B]I'm out
Chorus 2:
And it's tru[G#]e[B][A][C#]
The closer I get to yo[G#]u,[B][A][C#]
The further I get away from m[G#]e [B][A][C#]
(the person that I ought to b[F#]e)[B][A][C#][B][E]
Verse 3:
[G#]This is no longer any f[B]un
[G#]This couple will never be strolling into a blood red setting s[B]un
[G#]While the end credits are r[B]olling
Chorus 3:
And it's tru[G#]e[B][A][C#]
The closer I get to yo[G#]u,[B][A][C#]
The further I get away from m[G#]e [B][A][C#]
(the person that I ought to be[F#])[B][A][C#][B][E]
