There are some variations, notably after the second chorus, but just
play in the same box and you'll see it's simple to figure out.  It
also occurs in all of the choruses.


Intro:

G / Em x 4


Verse 1:

         G                                     Em
I'm just calling to say that finally I've lost counting
         G                              Em
How many broken dreams and wasted hours waiting
       G                                      Em
With a feeling of being somewhere to fill the space and
        G                                          Em
Just to leave once again, knowing you're still hesitating


Chorus:

G                    Em                   G
No for an answer was not what I was hoping for
    G                     Em                  G
I'm sure I could taken it if you had told me before
  C                       D               G
I dressed up in armour to dare follow you home
      C           D
Now I let you believe
   C             D                        G
My nerves out of steel, my heart's out of stone


Verse 2:

                G                                                        Em
I'm sick of the dips and the kicks and what comes with the price of your company
          G                                                    Em
When your kisses won't stick and like water your praisings run off of me
          G                                      Em
Doing whatever I please as if you were serving a royalty
         G                                             Em
When you say I'm sweet with my needs all I hear is you pitying


Chorus:

G                    Em                   G
No for an answer was not what I was hoping for
    G                     Em                  G
I'm sure I could taken it if you had told me before
  C                       D               G
I dressed up in armour to dare follow you home
      C           D
Now I let you believe
   C             D                        G
My nerves out of steel, my heart's out of stone


Verse 3:

       G                              Em
Waking up in the middle of comedy and tragedy
          G                                       Em
Where I'm desperately trying to spot some kind of loyalty
      G                                            Em
Is it all in my mind, is it dragons and demons and fantasies
          G                                             Em
That your righteous ambitions would only be phrases and charity


Chorus:

G                    Em                   G
No for an answer was not what I was hoping for
    G                     Em                  G
I'm sure I could taken it if you had told me before
  C                    D               G
I dressed in armour to dare follow you home
      C           D
Now I let you believe--

G                    Em                   G
No for an answer was not what I was hoping for
    G                     Em                 G
I'm sure I could taken it if you had told me before
  C                       D               G
I dressed up in armour to dare follow you home
      C           D
And I let you believe
        C             D                        G
That my nerves out of steel, my heart's out of stone
