Biography:
The Pale Fountains were an English band formed in Liverpool in 1980. Comprised of members Michael Head (vocals/guitar), Chris McCaffery (bass), Thomas Whelan (drums) and Andy Diagram (horns).
Inspired by 60's music such as Love, Burt Bacharach and The Beatles they failed to make any commercial headway despite garnering much critical praise for the two albums they released on Virgin, 1984's Pacific Street and 1985's ...From Across The Kitchen Table. Their sole top 50 single was Thank You which reached #48 in 1982.

Normal Intro Am Am Dm Dm G Abm
Am
You were the one who said look boy you’re always running
Dm
But you didn’t know the things that I had on top of me
G Abm
And this wall to wall thing that you’re all so very fond of
Am G
Well it’s harming me
Am
And when I met you in the subway station
Dm
You looked as though you hadn’t seen the queen’s face for a while
G Abm
Well I ain’t got much but you can take my future
Am G
It’s not doing me any good so you can lend it for a while
Am
Why why why why why

Come on, why do you want to say these things to me

That’s if you stay so, far away from me
Middle Eight? Bm Bm E E A Bb Bm A
Em
I’ve been away too long

But if I can get some sleep tonight
