Chorus:
Asus2        Em
Stop me, oh stop me
  C                          D
Stop me if you think you've heard this one before
Asus2        Em
Stop me, oh stop me
  C                          D
Stop me if you think you've heard this one before
Asus2       Em                   C                    D
Nothing's changed, I still love you, oh I still love you
      Asus2          Em                  C         D
Only slightly, only slightly less than I used to, my love

Asus2                Em
I was delayed, I was way-laid
     C                            D
An emergency stop, I smelled the last ten seconds of life
Asus2                   Em
I crashed down on the crossbar
         C                          D                  Asus2
And the pain was enough to make a shy bald buddhist reflect
                Em
And plan a mass murder
     C                D
Who said I'd lied to her?
    Asus2                       Em
Oh, who said I'd lied because I never, I never
  C                          D
Who said I'd lied because I never?

I was detained, I was restrained
And broke my spleen
And broke my knee
And then he really laced into me
Friday night in Out-patients
Who said I'd lied to her?
Oh, who said I'd lied? Because I never, I never
Who said I'd lied? Because I never
And so I drank one
It became four
And when I fell on the floor I drank more
