Jaya the Cat - Nobody's fault
from the album First beer of a new day
Verse 1:
C G
And it's over
Am F
And this I know
C G Am F
The smoke is clearing and all the soldiers are going home
C G
And I thought we'd make it
Am F
But what the fuck did I know
C G Am F
Maybe I'm better of without you
Chorus:
C G Am F
And when you say it's nobody's fault, I guess you mean it's mine
C G Am
And all those promises you made,
F
they were lies
C G Am F
And when you say it's nobody's fault, well I guess you mean it's mine
C G Am
And all those promises you made,
F
they were lies
C G
I don't got much in this life
Am F
I know
C G
I don't got much in this life
Am F
Just a thorn without the rose
C G
I don't got much in this life
Am F
When I'm walking in the shadows
C G
I don't got much in this life
Am F
Without you
Instrumental

Verse 2: (Guitar quieter)
C G
But it's over
Am F
And this I know
C G
And I guess I miss you
Am F
And I guess I don't
C G Am F (Guitar islouder again)
And all I wish is that I got something to show for it
C G Am F
And I don't know how I ever let myself get slipped
Chorus:
C G Am F
And when you say it's nobody's fault, I guess you mean it's mine
C G Am
And all those promises you made,
F
they were lies
