Girl of Mine

 C	
 G	
 C
Where did we go wrong

 C			
 G
You never once said you loved me
	
 C		
 G
And you never once called my name
          
 Am    
 D
And now I, I can see the way
	
 Em
My memories like cigarettes
	
 Am
Blow smoke upon the screen
    
 Em	   	
 Bm
I stare up to the empty face
	
 C	       
 D
That hangs inside my dreams
	
 G	        
 D
In the words of love I hesitate
         
 Em	        
 Em7	
 C       
 D
They all come rushing into me too late, too late



 C	
 G
Days and nights

 C	    
 G	     
 C
Wondering what could it be

 C   		
 G
Did you need somebody stronger

 C		     
 G	       
 Am
Someone to see you through, oh girl

 D
I never knew
        
 Em
Now your lipstick and  your powder
	
 Am
They^?re all put away in drawers
	
 Em		
 Bm
But the traces of our love affair
        
 C		      
 D
Still hide behind the doors

 G	          
 D
I lie awake, afraid to sleep
	    
 Em  	          
 Em7	       
 C
^?Cause I^?ll see the face I knew I^?d never keep
	  
 D
I^?d never keep


	     
 C    
 G
Too much to bear
	       
 Am	
 Em
Too much, I fall down drunk
	    
 C
Too much I care

(Solo same as verses)



 C	
 G
Tell me now

 C		
 G			
 C
Do the words of love still seem the same to you

 C			
 G
Now we learned the angry lesson

 C			
 G
And we still come back for more

 Am			  
 D
Forget somehow, what came before

 Em
My senses have been shocked
	
 Am
And I^?m alive to every pain
	
 Em		  
 Bm
Your quiet laughter comes to me
       
 C		
 D
It echoes in the rain
	
 G		  
 D
In the darkness of my lonely room
     
 Em  		       
 Em7	
 C
I pray that you won^?t fade away too soon
          
 D
Too soon


	      
 C  
 G
Too much to bear
		
 Am    
 Em
Too much, I fall down drunk
	     
 C	
 G
Too much I care
