Intro:
C#m A F#m, Abm B (x3)
Verse 1:
[C#m/C/C#m] My girl's mad at me.[A/Ab/A][(F#m)]
[C#m/C/C#m] I didn't wanna [F#m]see the film tonight.
[C#m/C/C#m] I found it hard to say.[A/Ab/A][(F#m)]
[C#m/C/C#m] She thought I'd had e-[F#m]nough of her.
Chorus 1:
[E] Why [E/D#]can't she [C#m]see;
[F#m] She's [E]lovely to [B]me?
[E] But I [E/D#]like to stay [C#m]in, and [C#m/B]watch T.[A]V.
[C#m] On my [F#m]own, every [F#m7]now and [B]then.
Verse 2:
[C#m/C/C#m] My girl's mad at me.[A/Ab/A][(F#m)]
[C#m/C/C#m] Been on the tele-[F#m]phone for an hour.
[C#m/C/C#m] We hardly said a word.[A/Ab/A][(F#m)]
[C#m/C/C#m] I tried and tried, but [F#m]I could not be heard.
Chorus 2:
[E] Why [E/D#]can't I ex-[C#m]plain?
[F#m] Why do I [E]feel this [B]pain?
[E] 'Cos every-[E/D#]thing I [C#m]say, she doesn't,[C#m/B] under-[A]stand,
She doesn't [C#m]rea-[F#m]lise; she takes it [F#m7]all the wrong [B]way.
Piano Solo:

Verse 4:
[C#m/C/C#m] My girl's mad at me.[A/Ab/A][(F#m)]
[C#m/C/C#m] We argued just the [F#m]other night.
[C#m/C/C#m] I thought we'd got it straight,[A/Ab/A][(F#m)]
[C#m/C/C#m] We talked and talked, un-[F#m]til it was light.
Chorus 3:
[E] I [E/D#]thought we'd a-[C#m]greed,
[F#m] I thought we'd [E]talked it [B]out.
[E] Now when I [E/D#]try to [C#m]speak, she says that[C#m/B], I don't [A]care,
She says I'm [C#m]un-a-[F#m]ware, and now she [F#m7]says I'm [B]weak.
