Em D

Em Am

It isn't how you said (in live versions mr. Cope used 'say' regularly)
You ask me if I love you
Well I don't think that's fair
You ask me if I love you
Well I don't think that's real
To critize our love
E5 F#5 G5 A5 (basically same chords as used in the brass hook, but then it can be played

[the rest of the song is pretty much the same, except for the bridge - but this is
