Biography:
What began as a one-off split 45 by songwriters Greg Cartwright (The Oblivians, Compulsive Gamblers, Reigning Sound) and Coco Hames (the Ettes, Coco Motion) quickly evolved into The Parting Gifts. "I thought, I'd write a song, Greg would write a song, we'd record them together, and that would be that," says Hames. "Luckily, Greg's prolific awesome switch was on, and we got this whole record instead." Offers Cartwright, "I was just so impressed with how easily things went that I was inspired to write more material for the project.

the song for the changes)
Em(7) D#7
How do you stand so straight
G C
When your mind is so crooked
Em Cm7
Paralyzed surprise upon your
G
face
Em(7) D#7
Please dont talk, Id like to
G C
remember you just like this
Em
The one who has betrayed me with a
Cm7
kiss
C
It only stands to reason
D
With every breath youre breathing
Em(7)
You were bound
D#7 G
Bound to let me down
Em(7) D#7
For all your dirty deeds
G C
There must be someone that you can blame
Em Cm7
Who taught you all the rules
G
Thats to the game
Em(7) D#7
For lips still red with wine
G C
Telling lies as theyre touching mine
Em Cm7
Already know how this is gonna go
C
It only stands to reason
D
With every breath
Em(7)
You were bound
D#7 G
Bound to let me down

You dont know how to say goodbye

And I aint gonna make you try

Tip: lay your pinky down for a beat when playing the G barre chord for a
flourish. This is a typical Greg move, and it's basically just a quick move from
the G to a C and then back to the G.
