(Intro)

D D/C# Bm7   D/A     G
You,   can I make it known
    A                D    D/C#
I'd like to take you home
    Bm7   D/A    G
You been away so long
    A
I'd like to see you

Em                        A
But when I saw you at the local hop
D          D/C#             Bm
I tried to take you but you made me stop
D/A    Em                               A
Then I saw that you were dancing with a rent-a-cop
A#o   Bm
Whoa, whoa!

    Bb+                  D/A
The minute you pulled me through
    G#m7-5                Gmaj7
You thought that then you knew
   A              C
If not today, I'd find a way
   A
To get to you

Bm  Bm7  F#m7  Bm  Bm7  F#m7

Bm                   Bm7  F#m7
Just a little of nothin'
Bm                     Bm7     F#m7
That's all you had the time to give
Bm                   Bm7
Just a little of nothin'
F#m7        F#m                    F#
Ain't gonna make it worthwhile for me

Bm  Bm7  F#m7  Bm  Bm7  F#m7

Bm                    Bm7  F#m7
If you'd only have listened
Bm                     Bm7    F#m7
You'd have heard every word I said
Bm                   Bm7
Just a little of nothin'
F#m7        F#m                    F#
Ain't gonna make it worthwhile for me

Bm  Bm7  F#m7  Bm  Bm7  F#m7  Bm  Bm7  F#m7  F#m  F#
Da, da, da ...

Bm                   D  A
Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')
G                    D  A
Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')
Bm                   D  A
Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')
G                    D  A
Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')

Bm  Gmaj7  A  D  Am7  Fmaj7  G  C  Am

Am
Newton-under-Roseberry topping
         Fmaj7
And it's cold and it's wet
                                     Am
And you feel like you're part of all time

Am
Living in the gap between the echoes
Fmaj7
Feeling it hot
               Am
And feeling it cold

Am
As long as there are fish in the sea
       Fmaj7
Have a cup of tea
       Am
Oh, as long as there are fish in the sea
       Fmaj7
Have a cup of tea

               Am7
'Cause you are running from the ring of the golden bell
       Fmaj7
Like a bat out of hell
        Am7
You are running from the ring of the golden bell
       Fmaj7
Like a bat out of hell
        Am7
You are running from the ring of the golden bell
       Fmaj7
Like a bat out of hell
        Am7
You are running from the ring of the golden bell
       Fmaj7            Am
Like a bat out of hell

          Am              C
There's a lady across the hall
                      G              G#o
She's telling me it's all right (all right)
Am                        C
I'm tryin' to give her my all
                 G
She's sayin' I'm uptight
E                Am       Am/G F    G
Hell of a way to spend an afternoon

Am            C
Saw a movie tonight
                   G                 G#o
Got frightened and broke down (broke down)
Am                C
Got a call in the night
                 G
My old lady just hit town
E                    Am        Am/G    F     E
Take her away, she's tryin' to turn me round
                  Am    Am/G  F#m7-5  Fmaj7
I'm nowhere to be found

Am  Am/G  F#m7-5  Fmaj7  G  Gmaj7  Am  D

G         Gmaj7               Am           D
I can't unread the pages I've already read
G           Gmaj7                Am
And I can't feed these ages left in my head
        B             Em   Em+5  Em6  Em+5
They're already dead, yeah

Em  Em+5  Em6  Em+5  Em  Em+5  Em6  Em+5  Em
