Verse 1:
--------
A Dsus2 F#m E
I have to admit that I am one of the many who thought that a guitar would win him a lady
A Dsus2 F#m E
My teenage years, they were a feminine drought, and I thought that a serenade would help out
A Dsus2 F#m E
It seemed to be working for a couple of years - I wrote a few songs and they wrought a few tears
A Dsus2 F#m E
But when I hit my twenties, it ran out of steam. I seemed to be suffering from romantic fatigue
Chorus:
-------
F#m Dsus2 A E
And I never know which song I should play her, each melody is
F#m Dsus2 A E
A memory of a not-forgotten failure
A E F#m E Dsus2
So when I get out my guitar tonight, to do what I do, remember
E
I probably didn't write this song for you

(Repeat Intro)
Verse 2:
--------
A Dsus2 F#m E
And so as I have mentioned, the shelf-life was short - the scheme wasn't working, despite what I
thought
A Dsus2 F#m E
The ladies all left me alone in the end, so I had to switch the names around and then sing it again
Bridge:
-------
Bm E A E F#m
Every life-long-love, and every best friend
Bm E A A7
Slipped away into the past
Bm E A E F#m Dsus2
Take my words with caution, I can't pretend that you're the first
E
You won't be the last
Chorus (Extended):
------------------
F#m Dsus2 A E
And I never know which song I should play her, each melody is
F#m Dsus2 A E
A memory of a not-forgotten failure
A E F#m E Dsus2
So when I get out my guitar tonight, to do what I do, remember
E
I probably didn't write this song
Dsus2 E
No I certainly didn't write this song
Dsus2 E Dsus2
No I never, never wrote a song for you
