[Verse 1]
(Gb)     Db           Ab/C            Bbm
Well I'm talking to myself not you so don't get mad
       Ebm               Fm         Ab
'Cos I need a friend who won't talk back
          Db      Ab/C       Bbm
And he is finally letting me see some sense
    Gbm                Fm      Bbm
And I know I should be mending fences
    Gbm       Ab   Bbm
But why would I do that?
     Bbm  Fm/Ab       Gb
When I    won't feel alone,
            Gb/Ab      Db     Gb
Long as you don't come back

[Verse 2]
(Gb)  Db                 Ab/C                Bbm
And I know that you'd be picking through the bones of me
Ebm              Fm       Ab
Trying to find a heart of stone
     Db            Ab/C     Bbm
Well if it's there throw it at my picture
     Gbm                Fm       Bbm
'Cos I know I should be building bridges
    Gbm       Ab   Bbm
But why would I do that?
     Bbm  Fm/Ab       Gb
When I    won't feel alone,
            Gb/Ab      Db
Long as you don't come back


[Middle 8]
(Db)       Ab
Don't come back
                  Gb
Don't come 'round crying
             Ab             Gb
Whatever the angle, I ain't buying
             Fm                 Ab
Whatever the accent you've been trying

[Verse 3]
       Db           Ab/C                Bbm
So I'm talking to myself not you and it ain't so bad
   Ebm           Fm         Ab
At least I don't put myself down
    Db          Ab/C Bbm
And sometimes I even sound like you
     Gbm                Fm      Bbm
When I know I should be making amends
    Gbm       Ab   Bbm
But why would I do that?
     Bbm  Fm/Ab       Gb
When I    won't feel alone,
Bbm  Fm/Ab       Gb    Ab
I    won't feel alone
   Bbm  Fm/Ab       Gb
No I    won't feel alone
               Gb/Ab      Db
As long as you don't come back
