From the BBC Songwriters Circle with Chris Difford, Justin Currie and Boo Hewerdine


[Intro]
| Db / / / | Gb / / / | Db / / / | Gb / / / |

[Verse 1]
(Gb) Db Ab/C Bbm
Well I'm talking to myself not you so don't get mad
Ebm Fm Ab
'Cos I need a friend who won't talk back
Db Ab/C Bbm
And he is finally letting me see some sense
Gbm Fm Bbm
And I know I should be mending fences
Gbm Ab Bbm
But why would I do that?
Bbm Fm/Ab Gb
When I won't feel alone,
Gb/Ab Db Gb
Long as you don't come back

[Verse 2]
(Gb) Db Ab/C Bbm
And I know that you'd be picking through the bones of me
Ebm Fm Ab
Trying to find a heart of stone
Db Ab/C Bbm
Well if it's there throw it at my picture
Gbm Fm Bbm
'Cos I know I should be building bridges
Gbm Ab Bbm
But why would I do that?
Bbm Fm/Ab Gb
When I won't feel alone,
Gb/Ab Db
Long as you don't come back


[Middle 8]
(Db) Ab
Don't come back
Gb
Don't come 'round crying
Ab Gb
Whatever the angle, I ain't buying
Fm Ab
Whatever the accent you've been trying

[Verse 3]
Db Ab/C Bbm
So I'm talking to myself not you and it ain't so bad
Ebm Fm Ab
At least I don't put myself down
Db Ab/C Bbm
And sometimes I even sound like you
Gbm Fm Bbm
When I know I should be making amends
Gbm Ab Bbm
But why would I do that?
Bbm Fm/Ab Gb
When I won't feel alone,
Bbm Fm/Ab Gb Ab
I won't feel alone
Bbm Fm/Ab Gb
No I won't feel alone
Gb/Ab Db
As long as you don't come back
