A Casual Affair

CAPO 2

[Intro]

E F#m G#m B

[Verse 1]
    E                       F#m
Its funny how time seems to soften the blow
    G#m                B
And only with time do I see at all
         E                      F#m
That the promises made were the start of the fall
    A#m                    B
The biggest mistake was to promise at all
          A
Shout the odds
G#m                     A
And what does it matter now?
     G#m                  F#m
That dreams are a passing cloud
      G#m
Their place is taken
     B
With many more fools like us

[Verse 2]

    E                        F#m
The time that we had we now have to repay
     G#m                     B
The sweet things we ate now leave a bitter taste
        E               F#m
Can you ever remember a night or a day
    G#m            B
You ever regretted eating that way
        A
Say I'm wrong
    G#m                 A
But inside you know I'm right
    G#m                F#m
And useless to try and fight
     G#m 
They say it was worth it
    B
But you know it never was

[Bridge]
F#       G#
The hurt inside
    F#             G#
And all the wasted tears we cried
B       E
Oh, the fun we had
B                   E
All the good things just turned bad
A       F#
Oh, the memories
A                       F#         B
Rearrange themselves to misery for me

[Solo]

E F#m G#m B  x 2

[Pre Bridge]

        A
Say I'm wrong
    G#m                 A
But inside you know I'm right
    G#m                F#m
And useless to try and fight
     G#m 
They say it was worth it
    B
But you know it never was

[Bridge]
F#       G#
The hurt inside
    F#             G#
And all the wasted tears we cried
B       E
Oh, the fun we had
B                   E
All the good things just turned bad
A       F#
Oh, the memories
A                       F#         B
Rearrange themselves to misery for me

[Verse 3]
  E                  F#m
A casual affair in a casual way
  G#m               B
We don't go far living from day to day
  E                     F#m
It just is a laugh that we left unnamed
   G#m                        B
You came here with pride but they told you was changed
          A
Shout the odds
G#m                     A
And what does it matter now?
     G#m                  F#m
That dreams are a passing cloud
      G#m
Their place is taken
     B
With many more fools like us

[Outro]

E F#m G#m B  x 2
