I only know this song thanks to the very last
episode of "The Shield".
I play with a capo on the 1st fret because
I'm half retarted when it comes to bar chords,
particularly the Bb.
Its sounds pretty damn close to the real thing. Enjoy
Chords
[EADGBE]
Bb x03330
F 033200
[Gm] [155111]
[F#] [244322]
[Eb] [365343]
Intro
[Bb] [F] [Gm] [F#][Eb]
[Bb] [F] [F#] [Gm][F#][Eb]
When you turned out the light and walked out the door,
I said to myself. What did I come here for?
Did you have a good time, drinking whisky and rhyme
and did you wanna be Bonnie and Clyde.
Verse
What goes [Bb]on in your mind, what goes [F]on in your head.
Who did you [Gm]think I would be, Ha, well you [Eb]got me instead.
You think there's [Bb]some connection,
That I'm your [F]female reflection, but [Gm]no.[Eb]
[Bb]I can be loyal and [F]I can be true
but that's for [Gm]somebody else and it will [Eb]never be you.
You think were [Bb]pre-determined,
well [F]babe your learning [F#]way to [Gm]slow.[F#][Eb]
But it [Bb]seems such a [F]long time a[Bb]go....[F]
(Same chords as verse for in-between part)
Oh, [Bb]he can see things you'll never [F]know how to see.
He'[Gm]s three times the man you'll neve[Eb]r know how to be,
I'll do [Bb]anythting he wants
and I'll go [F]anywhere he [F#]wants me to [Gm]go. [F#][Eb]
And if [Bb]that isn't love, then I
[F]Guess I'll just [F#]never [Gm]know.[F#][Eb]
[Bb]Seems such a [F]long time a[Bb]go...
