We Were Meant To Be Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I thought you said that
[C]you'd phone me this weekend,
[Am]Cause at the weekend
[G]the phone calls are cheaper.
[F]You left a n[C]ote but I did not read it,[Am]
I threw it [G]away.
I took a tube to the [C]west end of London,
[Am]To see a friend who I'd almo[G]st forgotten,
[F]He gave me hop[C]e tha[F]t
[C]I still hadn't lost you,
[Am]I threw it away.[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]I thought that you belonged to [Em]me,
[F][C][F][C][Em]
That [F]we were meant to be.
[C][F][Dm][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]I thought you said that eve[C]ry so often,
[Am]We had a love that was bette[G]r unspoken,
But [F]you, you [C]fool, you [Am]fool, you [G]lose.

[Verse 4]
[C]Fat Kelly's teeth
The spaces between all the towns,
[Em]Is where I lay my sweetheart down.
The spaces [F]between her cruellest insults [C]is
where I stopped being faithful,
The gaps between Fat Kelly's Teeth,
Distract my eyes from her body,
[Em]And as she pulls me to the floor,
I don't feel [F]that guilty,
My trousers are be[C]low my [F]knees,
And her skirts above her

[Interlude 1]
waist.
[G][C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 5]
[C]But in [Am]the cold sober light she's
[C]not [F]nearly [C]so pre[Am]tty,
But if I drink more gin her grace might
[F]return.[C][F][C][F][G]
My [C]sweetheart don't know,
And I sure [Em]won't tell her that fat [F]Kelly's
teeth have bitten chunks out of me,
[C]And what was I thinking of when I
went home with her,
She had sympath[Em]y, she had cigarettes,
Now they've all disappeared,
[F]Between her teeth, [C]between her teeth.

[Verse 6]
And [C]I always forget,
how [Em]quick the rot sets,
And now that [F]the sun [C]sets, I must go home,
I don't feel regretful,
I don't [Em]feel ungrate[F]ful,
Even though I'm unfaithful I don't
[C]feel that bad

[Outro 1]
