OVER MY SHOULDER by Mike & The Mechanics
 
Notes:
The Em chord I think is called Em7 but if not it should be
like this: 022033 (with the 1st string occasionally muted)
 
Capo 1
 
 
[Intro]
 
Em7  A  D   x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
        Em7  A       D
Looking back over my shoulder
Em7            A            D
I can see that look in your eyes
Em7             A           D
I never dreamed it could be over
Em7           A            D
I never wanted to say good bye
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
        Em7  A       D
Looking back over my shoulder
Em7            A          D
With an aching deep in my heart
Em7       A             D
I wish we were starting over
Em7                       A      D
Oh instead we're drifting so far apart
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C      G/B  F/A              G
  Everybody told me you were leaving
C       G/B      F/A            G
  Funny I should be the last to know
C       G/B     F/A              G
  Baby, please, tell me that I'm dreaming
Am                           Bb
I just never want to let you go
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
        Em7  A       D
Looking back over my shoulder
Em7            A            D
I can see that look in your eyes
Em7              A        D
Turning my heart over and over
Em7            A           D
I never wanted to say good bye
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C         G/B  F/A       G
  I don't mind everybody laughing
C           G/B      F/A              G
  But it's enough to make a grown man cry
C              G/B         F/A                 G
  'cause I can feel you're slipping through my fingers
Am                           Bb
I don't even know the reason why
 
Em7   A   D
Em7   A   D
Em7   A   D
Em7   A   D
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C      G/B F/A           G
  Everyday it's a losing battle
C         G/B       F/A             G
  Just to smile and hold my head up high
C          G/B F/A         G
  Could it be  we belong together
Am                               Bb    C Dm C/E
Baby, won't you give me one more try?
Fsus2         Gsus4
 One more try
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
        Em7  A       D
Looking back over my shoulder
Em7            A            D
I can see that look in your eyes
Em7             A           D
I never dreamed it could be over
Em7            A           D
I never wanted to say good bye
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
        Em7  A       D
Looking back over my shoulder
Em7               A          D
There´s an aching feeling inside
Em7            A          D
Cutting me up, deeper and deeper
Em7                     A            D
Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide

Good tab, thanks for it. But are you sure declaring tabs by other authors as "rubbish" is a respectful manner and the way conversations on this platform should be like? They also put effort in it!
