Here is one of the new songs on the Barenaked Ladies CD; Disc 1: Their greatest
hits 1991-2000. Really cool song; no capo & standard tuning. I'm pretty sure for
this one, but any corrections are welcome ! davidbarrette@videotron.ca

Intro
-----
 
Em7, Cm9, Dsus, Gadd9 [x4]
 
VERSE 1
-------
 
 Em7  Cm9  Dsus Gadd9
I'm learning
 Em7  Cm9  Dsus Gadd9
I'm yearning
 Em7  Cm9     B7      Esus
I'm burning all your stuff
    Am          D
But that's not enough
 
 Em7  Cm9  Dsus Gadd9
I'm faking
 Em7  Cm9  Dsus Gadd9
That I'm aching
 Em7  Cm9  B7      Esus
Mistaking lust for love
 
CHORUS
------
 
Am              D
Thanks that was fun
       G           Cm9  Em7
Don't forget, no regrets
Am           D
Except maybe one
 
VERSE 2
-------
 
 Em7  Cm9  Dsus Gadd9
Did I scare you?
 Em7  Cm9  Dsus Gadd9
When I dared you
 Em7  Cm9    B7     Esus
I stared you in the eye
     Am         D
And told you goodbye
 Em7  Cm9  Dsus Gadd9
You mocked me
 Em7  Cm9  Dsus Gadd9
It shocked me
 Em7  Cm9          B7     Esus
When you walked me to the bus
 
CHORUS
------
 
Am              D
Thanks that was fun
       G           Cm9  Em7
Don't forget, no regrets
Am           D
Except maybe one
        G           Cm9  Em7
Made a deal, not to feel
 Am
God that's dumb
 
BRIDGE
------
 
 G        Em7       Dsus      Gadd9
Everybody knows the deal fell through
 G          Em7      Dsus      Gadd9
I was hoping I could just blame you
 G              Em7   Dsus   Gadd9
When was it that I became so soft?
     G              Cadd9
This sentimentality doesn't look good on me
G                           Cadd9
I thought that you would be begging to be with me
G                            Cadd9
But I'm the one on my knees, blubbering
              B7   Esus
Please let me stay
 
(Slience)
Deflated
And jaded
                   Esus
I hate it when you call
Am             D
Which isn't at all
 
VERSE 3
-------
 
Em7  Cm9  Dsus Gadd9
I've spoken
Em7  Cm9  Dsus Gadd9
Though broken
Em7  Cm9       B7    Esus
Here's a token of my love
 
CHORUS
------
 
Am              D
Thanks that was fun
       G           Cm9  Em7
Don't forget, no regrets
Am           D
Except maybe one
        G           Cm9  Em7
Made a deal, not to feel
 Am          D
God that was dumb
         G          Cm9  Em7
Don't forget, no regrets
Am           D
Except maybe one
       G           Cm9  Em7
Made a deal not to feel
Am               D
Thanks, that was fun
