chords by cocodrilo .

F Em Dm C G
oh B – baby , don’t you be so mad because i barely remember
C Dm Em
Am F
and she tries to recognize me with the eyes she saw me with in december
F Em Dm C
G
and she’s starting to realize that it’s actually not a good thing
C Dm Em
Am F
and it’s so tough because you’re down to go out again and have another adventure
F Em Dm C
G
all her friends in the alleyway shout back , but she can’t hear them

F Dm G F C
but you’re never gonna get my love
C Bm Am G Dm
we can only blame the sun
F Dm C G
get up in the morning and run
C Em Am
you’ll be frustrated ’til the day that you’re done

F Em Dm C
G
he got punched the mouth for sticking his nose in other people’s business
C Dm Em Am F
no good solution , always on the verge of some revolution
F Em Dm C

with tough luck it may take a thousand years but i think we can do it
C Dm Em Am
F
best friends fight , but they never enjoy life as good as when they abuse it
F Em Dm C
G
he said the soldier is . . . ( i can’t seriously understand this part of the song , lol ) .

F Dm G F C
but you’re never gonna get their love
C Bm Am G Dm
we can only fight in the sand
F Dm C G
you get tired when the days are too long
C Em Am
you get lonely when the days are gone

solo : C – Em – Am , then you stay for a while following the rythm , and then go back doing
Am – G – C .
basically you repeat this ’til solo ends , then at the end , strumming changes and the
next chord in that strumming is C .

F Em Dm
C G
he could never mention it out here and now without big tears in his eyes

F Dm G F C
and you’re never gonna get my love
C Bm Am G Dm
we can only fight in the sand
F Dm C G
you get tired when the days are too long
C Em Am
you get lonely when the days are gone

F Dm G F C
oh you’re never gonna get this love
C Bm Am G Dm
we can roll around in the dark
F Dm C G
that’s about as far as we go
C Em Am
get up in the morning and run

and that’s it , remember to always try different strumming patterns so you can find one
according to your needings , wether you’re gonna play this song at the same rythm or
slower , always try to find the right pattern .

( the arrangement of the chords in each paragraph is not exactly that one , i tried to do
my best to arrange them correctly , it’s not perfect but you can fix them ) .
