Del Water Gap - It’s Not Fair!

[Intro]

Bb F C Dm Bb F C

[Verse 1]

Bb F
I want you to know, I think about it
Bb F
When I’m up alone, I worry about you
Bb F C
I can hardly walk through East Manhattan still

Bb F
I got caught alone in your apartment
Bb F
Kept you up till one, talking your ear off
Bb F C
You’d long gone to work and I was sleeping off the pills

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm Bb
So humbled by it, no use in lying
F C
Wiping the sweat back, spitting and crying

[Chorus]

Dm Bb
Just to leave me yelling, “It’s not fair !”
F C
Just to leave me yelling, “It’s not fair !”
Dm Bb
I just wanted you to know I’m scared
F C
And it leaves me yelling, “It’s not fair !”

[Interlude]

Dm Bb F C

Dm Bb
I just wanted you to know I’m scared

F C

[Verse 2]

Bb F
We laid on the floor in deep New England
Bb F
Your brother was home, he always lingered
Bb F C
I had pizza breath but you still curled up in my limbs

Bb
Now you get drunk and email me
F
Killing me softly
Bb
The feeling impales me
F
You’ll always haunt me
Bb
I’m sorry i blame you
F C
That you couldn’t keep me still

[Chorus]

Dm Bb
Just to leave me yelling, “It’s not fair !”
F C
Just to leave me yelling, “It’s not fair !”
Dm Bb
I just wanted you to know I’m scared
F C
And it leaves me yelling, “It’s not fair !”

[Bridge]

Dm
Who am I kidding?
Bb
I can’t face you
F C
Let alone my mother asking
Dm Bb
“How’d you lose her? Rash behavior?
F C
Twenty-something ever after…”
Dm Bb
Ever after keep my distance
F C
Now we’re older, still I miss you
Dm Bb
Still I sleep late, like we used to
F C
Don’t forget me, how I loved you

[Chorus]

Dm Bb
Just to leave me yelling, “It’s not fair !”
F C
Just to leave me yelling, “It’s not fair !”
Dm Bb
I just wanted you to know I’m scared
F C
And it leaves me yelling, “It’s not fair !”

It’s not fair
