[Intro 1]
[Em][G][Am][G][Em][C][Em][Am][Em][G][C][G][Em][C][Am]
[G]
Well [Am]there's three [G]versions [Em]of this story

[Verse 1]
mine and [C]yours
And [Em]then the [Am]truth
[G]Now we [Am]can put i[G]t down to circumstance,
[Em]our chil[C]dhood,[Em] then our [A]youth
[D]Out of some sentimental gai[Em]n I
wanted you to feel my pain
[C]But it came back return to sen[G]der[Am][G]
[D]I read your mind and tried to call,
[Em]My tears could fill the Albert Hall,[C]
Is this the sound of sweet surrender?
[D]

[Verse 2]
What a shame we [G]never [Am]listened[C]
[D]I told you through the [G]televi[Am]sion[C]
And [D]all that went [G]away was
the [Am]price we [C]paid
[D]People spend a [Em]lifetime this [A]way
Oh what [D]a shame

[Verse 3]
[G]So I g[Am]ot bus[G]y thr[Em]owing eve[G]rybody
[C]under[Em]neath [Am]the bus, oh
[G]And wit[Am]h your pos[G]ter 30 foot
high at [C]the back of [Em]Toys [A]R Us
[D]I wrote a letter in my min[Em]d
But the words were so un[C]kind
About a man I can't re[G]member[Am][G]
[D]I don't recall the reasons why[Em]
I must have meant them at the time
[C]Is this the sound of sweet sur[D]render?

[Verse 4]
What a shame we [G]never [Am]listened[C]
[D]I told you through the [G]televi[Am]sion[C]
And [D]all that went [G]away was
the [Am]price we [C]paid
[D]People spend [Em]a lifetime this [A]way
And [Em]that's how they [A]stay
Oh what [D]a shame

[Verse 5]
[G]Words [E]come [A]easy
[Am]When [D]they're [G]true
Words [E]come [A]easy
[Am]When [D]they're [G]true

[Verse 6]
[G]So I got [Am]busy throwing [C]everybody
[D]un derneath the bus
[G]And with your pos[Am]ter 30foo[C]t high
at [D]the back of Toys R [G]Us
Now we can [Am]put it down to circ[C]umstance,
our [D]childhood then our youth

[Verse 7]
What a shame we [G]never [Am]listened[C]
[D]I told you through the [G]televi[Am]sion[C]
And [D]all that went [G]away was
the [Am]price we [C]paid
[D]People spend a [Em]lifetime this [A]way
And [Em]that's how they [A]stay
People spend a [Em]lifetime this [A]way
Oh what [D]a shame
What a shame
[G][Am][G][Em]

[Verse 8]
[C]Oo [Em]h[A]
[Am]Such a shame, what [G]a shame
Beautiful shame, real shame,
and stuff double shame (shame, shame, shame)
