Verse 1:
--------
  A                       Dsus2               F#m                         E
I have to admit that I am one of the many who thought that a guitar would win him a lady
   A                          Dsus2                   F#m                E
My teenage years, they were a feminine drought, and I thought that a serenade would help out
   A                          Dsus2               F#m                        E
It seemed to be working for a couple of years - I wrote a few songs and they wrought a few tears
         A                     Dsus2               F#m                           E
But when I hit my twenties, it ran out of steam. I seemed to be suffering from romantic fatigue
 
 
Chorus:
-------
    F#m     Dsus2                    A              E
And I never know which song I should play her, each melody is
F#m   Dsus2   Bm              E
A memory of a not-forgotten failure
        A      E               F#m      E        Dsus2
So when I get out my guitar tonight, to do what I do, remember
                  E
I probably didn't write this song for you
 
 
(Repeat Intro)
 
 
Verse 2:
--------
       A                        Dsus2                      F#m                       E
And so as I have mentioned, the shelf-life was short - the scheme wasn't working, despite what I 
thought
    A                   Dsus2                 F#m                                    E
The ladies all left me alone in the end, so I had to switch the names around and then sing it again
 
 
Bridge:
-------
Bm    E             A     E       F#m
Every life-long-love, and every best friend
Bm       E            A      A7
Slipped away into the past
Bm      E            A        E         F#m                 Dsus2
Take my words with caution, I can't pretend that you're the first
                 E
You won't be the last
 
 
Chorus (Extended):
------------------
    F#m     Dsus2                    A              E
And I never know which song I should play her, each melody is
F#m   Dsus2   Bm              E
A memory of a not-forgotten failure
     A        E                F#m      E        Dsus2
So when I get out my guitar tonight, to do what I do, remember
                  E
I probably didn't write this song
     Dsus2            E
No I certainly didn't write this song
     Dsus2        E                     Dsus2
No I never, never wrote a song for you
