The Wedding Present
(David Gedge, Graeme Ramsay)
Intro : G#, B
Verse 1:
G#BG#
There's never really a good time to say goodbye
B
But don't pretend
G#
It's not a relief to hear me say:
BG#B
"I'm thinking, right now, maybe we should end it"
Chorus 1:
C#
Because it's true
GC#
The closer I get to you,
GC#
The further I get away from me
FE#
(the person that I used to be)
Verse 2:
G#B
It wasn't always like this before;
G#B
That we were in love there is no doubt
G#B
But I'm not happy anymore and, for that reason, I'm out
Chorus 2:
GC#
And it's true
G#C#
The closer I get to you,
G#C#
The further I get away from me
F#E#
(the person that I ought to be)
Verse 3:
G#B
This is no longer any fun
G#B
This couple will never be strolling into a blood red setting sun
G#B
While the end credits are rolling
Chorus 3:
GC#
And it's true
G#C#
The closer I get to you,
G#C#
The further I get away from me
FE#
(the person that I ought to be)
Outro : G#, B
