Written and sung by Fred LeBlanc

This song is really very simple, and only uses G, C, D, and Em.  However,
they use a cheating C (C9?) and put the 3rd finger on the 2nd string, not
the first, for the G.
G = 320030      C=032030        D=000232        Em=022000
This way, (Except for Em), the 3rd finger stays planted the whole song.

G                D               C             G
Tina says "don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb
      G               D            C              D
we've broken down and broken up so much that I am numb
G                 D                C              G
talk about, don't shout about, the people we've become"
          G                 C      D    G
There's a little girl who's crying over here.

Note that lines 2 and 4 are different from 1 & 3, which are the same.

Each verse is the same.


Chorus:
             Em         C                 D
Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried
(repeat this pattern 3 times)

G                   C             D
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
G                   C             D
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
G                   C             D            C
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?


Bridge:
Em       D        C
Fighting makes me tired
(repeat pattern 4 times)
