Biography:
The Human League is an English synthpop band formed in 1977.

The only consistent band member is vocalist and songwriter Phil Oakey. The band's best known configuration was their 1980-1985 lineup of Phillip Oakey (vocals), Joanne Catherall (vocals), Susanne Sulley (vocals), Phillip Adrian Wright (keyboards), Jo Callis (guitar, keyboards) and Ian Burden (bass).

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The fills at the end of every 2nd line are a basic (and pretty common) D riff thus:
Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D. The riff timings can be a little tricky when singing along, but
listen to the song and it will make sense.
The E A A at the end of the 3rd line of the chorus are 3 distinct "single hit" chords.
Again, listen and it will make sense.
For those who didn't know, this song is the 2nd part of the story that was started in
"Don't You Want Me". Enjoy!
[Verse]
D Dsus2 D A D
When he saw her getting of the bus
D riff
It seemed to wipe away the years
D Dsus2 D A D
Her face was older, just a little rough
D riff
But her eyes were still so clear
D Dsus2 D A D
He drank his coffee and he hurried out
D riff
Across before she walked away
D Dsus2 D A D
Then he approached her like a little child
D riff
Too scared for what he had to say
[Chorus]
D D riff
"Hello, Louise,
G D riff
Remember me?
D D riff
Now should we part
E E A A (palm mute or let it ring, whatever works)
Or stay awhile?
(No Chord)
As if we were still lovers"
D Dsus2 D A D D riff x2
[Verse]
D Dsus2 D A D
She took a moment just to recognise
D riff
The man she'd known so well before
D Dsus2 D A D
And as he started to apologise
D riff
Lose any bitterness she bore
D Dsus2 D A D
She gently put her finger on his lips
D riff
To let him know she understood
D Dsus2 D A D
And with her suit case standing on the floor
D riff
Embraced him like a lover would
[Chorus]
D D riff
He told Louise
G D riff
"You look so good
D D riff
It's just you see
E E A A
You make me feel
(No Chord)
As if we were still lovers"
Solo with the verse chord sequence
[Spoken over the verse chord sequence]
It's not always true that time heals all wounds.
There are wounds that you don't wanna heal,
the memories of something really good,
something truly real, that you never found again.
(As if we were still lovers)
[Verse]
D Dsus2 D A D
And though they talked for just a little time
D riff
Before she said she had to go
D Dsus2 D A D
He saw the meeting as a tiny sign
D riff
That told him all he had to know
[Chorus]
D D riff
And so Louise
G D riff
Waved from the bus
D D riff
And as she left
E E A A
She gave that smile
N.C
