 G 
How could you let her touch you in a place
you didn't want touched?
 G 
How could you let get so close to you
that she could kiss your neck?
 G 
And kiss it gently, and kiss it gently
and kiss it gently?
 G 
How could you take a number from her
when you met her in that bar?
 G 
How could you offer her a drink
and then the front seat of your car?
 G 
And kiss her gently, and kiss her gently
and kiss her hard?
                             Em                           G 
How could you lie to me right to my face
                               Em                         C 
How could your best friend's, ex-girlfriend's
 G 
younger sister's mate
                         Em                       C 
Know before I did? Before I did
               G 
before I did
 G 
How could you string me along for so long
for just over 11 months?
 G 
How could I be so stupid and so blind?
You know I think I had a hunch
 G 
About this anyway, about this whole thing,
about this girl
 G 
I thought that it was just a phase
you were so distant and so cold
 G 
I thought that it was just your age
and the fear of getting old
 G 
You acted different, you were so different,
you were impatient
                 Em                             G 
And you lied to me right to my face
                   Em                         C 
And your best friend's, ex-girlfriend's
 G 
younger sister's mate
                         Em                       C 
Knew before I did? Before I did
               G 
before I did
                             Em                                           C 
'Cause if you run into the eye of the storm
                                   G                                               D 
to get round the back, you better hit the floor
'cause screamin
 Em 
NO!
                                                   C 
I can't take it, I can't take it
                                               G 
I can't take it anymore
                                                 D 
Till your eyes and your mouth is sore
                 Em                                     C 
Doesn't help anyone, doesn't do good
                     G 
But you'd do something else
               D 
if you only could
         Em 
And I wish I could grow up
               C 
wish I could be well-behaved
                   G 
But everytime I look you in the eye
     D 
I send you to the grave
                   Em 
And that pretty, pretty girl
                   C 
with her nice sweet lips
                     G 
With your eyes on her chest
                   D 
and your hands on her hips
           Em                                       C 
This itch, this burn, this pain
                             G 
this draining feeling
                     D 
Turns out needs a cream
       Em                     C 
To help it go away so that's what
 G                           D 
leaving me the gift you gave
                 Em                                                         C 
Does it help? I can't take it, I can't take it
                                             G 
I can't take it anymore
