        C            Dm                Em
Am        FAnd she tries to recognize me with the eyes she saw me with in December
           F         Em          Dm            C
   GAnd she's starting to realize that it's actually not a good thing
        C            Dm                Em
Am             FAnd it's so tough because you're down to go out again and have another adventure
        F            Em                 Dm C
    GAll her friends in the alleyway shout back, but she can't hear them


            F     Dm   G   F  CBut you're never gonna get my love
C      Bm   Am    G   DmWe can only blame the sun
F             Dm C        GGet up in the morning and run
               C              Em              AmYou'll be frustrated 'til the day that you're done

           F            Em    Dm             C
           GWith tough luck it may take a thousand years but I think we can do it
             C               Dm          Em      Am
              FBest friends fight, but they never enjoy life as good as when they abuse it
           F               Em    Dm             C
              GHe said the soldier is... (I can't seriously understand this part of the song, lol).


           F     Dm   G    F    CBut you're never gonna get their love
C      Bm   Am       G   DmWe can only fight in the sand
        F              Dm       C   GYou get tired when the days are too long
        C               Em       AmYou get lonely when the days are gone


Solo: C - Em - Am, then you stay for a while following the rythm, and then go back doing
Am - G - C.
Basically you repeat this 'til solo ends, then at the end, strumming changes and the
next chord in that strumming is C.

         F                Em           Dm
C            GHe could never mention it out here and now without big tears in his eyes

           F     Dm   G    F  CAnd you're never gonna get my love
C      Bm   Am       G   DmWe can only fight in the sand
        F              Dm       C   GYou get tired when the days are too long
        C               Em       AmYou get lonely when the days are gone

          F     Dm    G   F    COh you're never gonna get this love
C      Bm   Am       G    DmWe can roll around in the dark
F              Dm      C  GThat's about as far as we go
C             Em          AmGet up in the morning and run



And that's it, remember to always try different strumming patterns so you can find one
according to your needings, wether you're gonna play this song at the same rythm or
slower, always try to find the right pattern.

(The arrangement of the chords in each paragraph is not exactly that one, I tried to do
my best to arrange them correctly, it's not perfect but you can fix them).
