[Intro]
F
F Bb C (3x)
F C
 
[Verse 1]
 
F                             Bb
I knew it'd turn out like this
            C               F     Bb  C
I'm keeping one foot on the train
      F                  Bb
And I must be a masochist
        C                 F     Bb  C
To ever take up with you, James.
            Bb
It sounds familiar
     Am           C
That tone in your voice
             Bb
You're gonna go, James
    Am       C
You leave me no choice.
 
[Chorus]
 
    F
Oh, James
Bb         C           F     C
Letting me down again, James.
 
[Verse 2]
 
         F
Well, it wasn't so long ago
Bb    C            F    Bb  C
I saw love in your eyes
    F
And I think I should've known
Bb              C           F      Bb  C
But I'm feelin' somewhat surprised.
                  Bb
You think there's someone
Am         C
Better for you
              Bb
You think I'm too young
Am                C
To see this thing through.
 
[Chorus]
 
    F
Oh, James
Bb         C           F     C
Letting me down again, James.
 
[Bridge]
 
F                  Bb    C
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
F                  Bb                 C
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
F                  Bb    C
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
F                  Bb           C
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
F                  Bb    C   F
(Ooh, let me down) down.
 
 
[Vers 3]
 
  F
I knew it'd turn out like this
Bb          C                F    Bb  C
I'm keeping one foot out the door
    F
And I don't think I should trust
Bb           C       F    Bb  C
That kind of love anymore.
          Bb
And now I realize
  Am          C
I had it all wrong
          Bb
I'll only take this
Am          G
Trip for so long.
 
[Chorus]
 
     F
Woe, James
Bb         C           F
Letting me down again, James
      Bb          C          Dm
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Bb               C
Letting me down again
C                      F
Letting me down again, James.

great submission my friend. One suggestion, I think that the second to last line of the song -- "Letting me down again" where you have an "F" to "C" chord, the "F" should be changed to the "Bb" then continue to "C" and stay on it for the last line of the song as you have written.
