Don't Read The Classics Tabulatur von Owl and Mouse

Am F C G

             Am 
There's a bookshop
         F 
On my high street
          C 
Full of novels
              G 
I'd like to read
              Am
Though they used to
       F
seem attractive
         C
You have put me
          G
Off the classics
                   Am
I don't bother with Camus
       F 
Jane Austen
       C
Oscar Wilde
        G
Charles Dickens
         Am                                 F
Cause my darling when I see them laid out there
C             G
My heartbeat quickens
              Am
And my pulse races
                  F
And I think of the places
        C                            G
I could be if I weren't stuck here with me
    Am
Wondering how
     F
I managed
            C
To let you fool me
           G
One more time
            Am
How I'm hopeless
             F
Because I care
                 C                      G
And how you're fearless when I'm not there
                  Am
And how you're gutless
          F
When I am
               C                              G
And how I'd wished you could've been a fucking man
                  Am                 F
And just been honest, and told me straight
                 C
That I'm not perfect
               G
But this was great
           Am
It's been fun
                   F
And I've had my uses
                 C
But once you've come
       G
I am useless
                 Am
See, you should know
          F
From now on
         C
If you call me
        G 
I won't come
            Am
I'm tired of trying
                  F
To believe you're kind
     C                       G
And pretending that I don't mind
             Am
When you forget
           F
Or you ignore
              C                       G
And show me that I'm not worth caring for
              Am
I might look strong
            F
But I am weak
            C
And when I see you
        G
I just break
         Am
So I won't
            F
Because I can't
        C
And I know now
            G
From the start
