Hi, this is my first tab, and I have noticed on the net that there is no other
version (at least to my knowledge and I have looked around) of this phenomenal
and beautiful song on the net except with the capo on the 4th fret. What about
us people who don't have a capo? I think there is a great number of us on the net,
and I have tried to help them and myself in tabbing this great song.

[Intro] (strummed lightly)
 
A  G  D  A  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
 A     G    D           A
I am a man cut from the know
A         G       D             A
Rarely do friends come and then go
A         G     D           A
She was a girl, soft but estranged
 A          G        D        A
We were the two, our lives rearranged
 C         G         Am
Feeling so good that day
 C           G         F
A feeling of love that day...
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 Am          G            C           D
Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning
     E
You're breaking the girl
Am   G   C    D   F
She meant you no harm
 Am            G           C           D
Think you're so clever but now you must sever
      E
You're breaking the girl
Am G     C  D   F
He loves no one else
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A            G    D           A
Raised by my dad, girl of the day
A         G    D            A
He was my man, that was the way
A           G    D     A
She was the girl left alone
A          G       D           A
Feeling the need to make me her home
  C         G         Am
I don't know what, when or why
C           G         F
The twilight of love had arrived
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 Am          G            C           D
Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning
     E
You're breaking the girl
Am   G   C    D   F
She meant you no harm
 Am            G           C           D
Think you're so clever but now you must sever
      E
You're breaking the girl
Am G     C  D   F
He loves no one else

You're breaking the girl
Am   G   C    D   F
She meant you no harm
 Am            G           C           D
Think you're so clever but now you must sever
