The Smiths - I Know It's Over: chords

    C                                          Am7
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
F   G      C
and as I climb into an empty bed
          Am7
oh well, enough said
F G         F              G
I know it's over still I cling
   F                           G        F G F
I don't know where else I can go, mother

    C                                           Am7
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
F G       C
see, the sea wants to take me
the knife wants to slit me
 Am
do you think you can help me?
 F   G       C
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
                             Am7
handsome groom, give her room
F G            C
loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
                        Am7
although she needs you more than she loves you
F G             F              G
And I know it's over still I cling
   F                           G
I don't know where else I can go
     F                     G   F
it's over, it's over, it's over

            C
I know it's over
              F
and it never really began
G               F       G  Am
but in my heart it was so real
F              G              F G
and you even spoke to me and said:

C
"If you're so funny
                         Am7        F G
Then why are you on your own tonight?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight?

I know 'cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."

It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is natural and real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is natural and real
But not for such as you and I
My love

    C             F        G           F     G   Am F G F G
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
