The Smiths - I Know It's Over
CAPO ON 5TH FRET
G Em
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
C D G
and as I climb into an empty bed
Em
oh well, enough said
C D C D
I know it's over still I cling
C D C D C D
I don't know where else I can go, mother
G Em
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
C D G
see, the sea wants to take me
the knife wants to slit me
Em
do you think you can help me?
C D G
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Em
handsome groom, give her room
C D G
loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
Em
although she needs you more than she loves you
C D C D
And I know it's over still I cling
C D
I don't know where else I can go
C D C
it's over, it's over, it's over
G
I know it's over
C
and it never really began
D C D Em
but in my heart it was so real
C D C D
and you even spoke to me and said:
G Em C D
"If you're so funny then why are you on your own tonight
G Em C D
and if you're so clever then why are you on your own tonight?
G Em C D
if you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?
G Em C D
if you're so very good looking why do you sleep alone tonight? I know
G
Cause tonight is just like any other night
Em C D
that's why you're on your own tonight
G
with your triumphs and your charms
Em C D
while they are in each other's arms"
C D C
It's so easy to laugh
D
it's so easy to hate
C D
it takes strength to be gentle and kind
C D
it's over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
D
it's so easy to hate
C D
it takes guts to be gentle and kind
C D C D
it's over, over, over
G C D
Love is natural and real
C D Em
but not for you, my love
C D
not tonight my love
C D G C
love is natural and real
D C D Bm C D
but not for such as you and I, my love
