and my heart hit a problem , in the early hours ,
so i stopped it dead for a beat or two .
( repeat strumming from verses for middle 8 )
but i cut some cord , and i shouldn’t have done it ,
and it won’t forgive me after all these years

so i sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere
with a big black horse and a cherry tree .
now it won’t come back , ’cause it’s oh so happy
and now i’ve got a hole for the world to see

( repeat strumming for chorus )
and it said no , no , no , no – no – no
said no , no , you’re not the one for me
no , no , no , no – no – no – no
said no , no , you’re not the one for me
{not the one for me}

said no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no ,
you’re not the one for me
no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no
you’re not the one for me

( do , do , do , do )
