Chords and lyrics for Whiskey Remorse by Del Amitri

There is a

girl I used to

know

She had a

hundred ways of

hurting you and so

I packed my bags and left her as she

watche

D/F#

d some

show

There is a girl I used to

know

So buy me one more d

rink before you

Or lend me a 20 and

I’ll get drunk on my

own

You always find some

company, come in to use the

phone

Someone who can’t

stand to see a friend go

home

alone

What I Think She Sees

Chords and lyrics for What I Think She Sees by Del Amitri

Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 1998 11:38 AM

I’ve been in this place many times b

efore

with my baby’s things among my shoes and strings and

clothes

but just

because I’m

here don’t mean I

can’t run out that

door

ain’t that what those

runnin’ shoes are

for.

Baby likes to sleep on floor board

bed.

Just to keep the peace well I join her

there.

She might say to

me a better

man I can’t

recall

what I think she

sees ain’t me at

all

It ain’t me at

all to need

F#m

somebody like some love

struck

asually

It ain’t me at

all to be so

F#m

ready to

be what I think s

sees

Baby claims I kiss like I really

care

Well I guess I’d say I don’t but the truth ain’t

fair.

Sometimes she looks at

me and say’s

“babe my heart just s

talled”

But what I think she se

what I think she s

ees

what I think she

sees ain’t me at

all.

Chords and lyrics for The First Rule Of Love by Del Amitri

You’ll get hooked, yo

u’ll get drugged

 She’ll be

your essence she’ll be y

our

blood

2;And you’ll want her mor

e and more but you’ll never get

enough 

And thats the first rule of lo

 She’ll smell s

o sweetly in the mor

ning

 She’ll make yo

u feel so good insid

 And y

ou’ll want her so much yo

u’ll give everything else up

nd that’s the

first rule of

love 

 You’ll grow co

mfortable

together

 You’ll start t

o fit like hand and

glove 

And then

you’ll start to hate the

men she used to dream of 

And that’s t

he first rule

love 

 You’ll miss her mad

ly,

hen you’re apart

 Love is l

ike

gravity

holding down your heart 

 You’ll

grow envious an

bitter

#8232;She’ll be enqu

iring and concerned

232;

And you’l

l feel so close to her but

never close enough

t past the fi

rst rule of love 

And with the awkwardness

of strangers you wi

ll finally give up 

o exceptions to t

he first rule of l

ove

No exceptions to

the first rule of

love

Sometimes I Just Have To Say Your Name

Posted on April 15, 2012 by admin

Chords and lyrics for Sometimes I Just Have To Say Your Name by Del Amitri

Em7

F#m7

With the

sweet drip of every raindrop

F#m7

Time brings you closer to me

And with

each new sign at every train-stop

F#m7

nother hour without you is consigned to h

istory

F#m7

And with

each tick of my alarm clock

I get

F#m7

crazy for the days to get to you

When I can

hold you and kiss you and have you

Instead of

F#m7

staring at some photo like a fool

But as

day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight

When I

think that I might not make it t

hro

D/A

ugh

But honey

sometimes I just

have to say your

name

To hear it

hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same

And sometimes when I’m blue, I

know just what to do

keep the blues at bay you know I

only have to

say your

name

So this

morning I picked up the paper

In the

F#m7

useless descent of the rain

While

partners in heartbreak the whole world over

F#m7

Lie and cheat just the same

And the

headlines proclaim everything has changed

F#m7

Love can’t save you now

As each

little motion of my writswatch

F#m7

Holds up my faith somehow

But as

day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight

When I

think that I might not make it t

hro

D/A

ugh

But honey

sometimes I just

have to say your

name

To hear it

hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same

And sometimes when I’m blue, I

know just what to do

keep the blues at bay you know I

only have to say your

name

When I’ve

used up all my

patience

When your

letters have been read twenty times

through

I can

F#m7

drink all the wine in th

is place of mine

But it ain’t no replacement, it

ain’t no replacement for

‘Cause honey

sometimes I just have to

say your

name

To hear it

hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same

And sometimes when I’m blue, I

know just what to do

keep the blues at bay you (know I only have to say)

You know I only have to

say your

name…

.ooooh

hooo…

F#m7

ooh

hooo..

F#m7

You know I

Only have to say your name I only have to say yo

F#m7

name

I only have to

say your name, say your name, say your name

F#m7

Oooh

yay yah…ay yah, ooooh ay yah

F#m7

, I only have, only have to

say your name, say your name, say your name,

F#m7

Wah wah wah wah wah

Whoa yah, whoa yah, whoa yah I only have to

F#m7

say-ayayay your name, nam

e, name, name, name, name, name, name

name, name, name, name Yah

F#m7

Some Other Suckers Parade

Chords and lyrics for Some Other Suckers Parade by Del Amitri

I must have

had a million

damned unlucky days

But there

ain’t no cloud that a

bottle can’t chase

away

I’ve done my

deal of living,

ran from place to place

But when the

roof comes in I don’

t wanna take it

straight

They say

have faith any soul can make it

But

hell why should I

wait

Till the

clouds go rain on

some other suckers pa

rade

I’ve had my

share of heartaches,

let downs and tricks

But the

everyday blues is the

one thing I can’t

fix

I’ve heard those

holy bretheren,

muttering my name

But it

ain’t no sin to

drink when you’re

suffering

Patience

they say, is a saintly virtue,

But

hell why should I

wait

Till the

clouds go rain on

some other suckers pa

rade

When every heavy sky,

just empties on your fate

Sometimes keeping dry is

something to celebrate

They say

have faith any soul can make it

But

hell why should I

wait

Till the

clouds go rain on

some other suckers pa

Roll To Me

Chords and lyrics for Roll To Me by Del Amitri

Look around your

world, pretty baby.

Is it everything you

hoped it would

be?

The wrong guy, the w

rong

situation,

The right time to roll to

me.

Look into your

heart, pretty baby.

Is it

aching with some

nameless

need?

Is there

something wrong and you

can’t put your finger on it?

Right

then, roll to

me.

And I

C#m

don’t think I hav

e ever seen

a soul so

G#m

despair…

if you want to

talk the night through,

G#m

Guess who will b

there?

don’t try to d

eny it, pretty baby,

You’ve been

down so long you can

hardly

see.

When the

engine’s stalled, it

won’t stop runnin’,

It’s the

right time to roll to

me.

look around your

world, pretty baby.

Is it

everything

you

hoped it would

be?

The wrong guy, the w

rong

situation,

The

right

time to roll to

me.

The right

time to roll to

me.

The right

time to roll to

me.

Nothing Ever Happens

Chords and lyrics for Nothing Ever Happens by Del Amitri

Post office clerks put up signs saying position cl

osed

And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their c

oats

anitors padlock the

gates

For se

curity guards to patr

And b

achelors phone up their f

riends for a drink

While the ma

rried ones turn on a cha

show

And the

y’ll all be lonely toni

ght and lonely tom

orrow

Gentleme

n time please you know we can’t serve any more

Now the

traffic lights stop when theres nothing to go

And by fiv

e o clock everythings dead

And

ever

y third car is a cab

And

ignoran

t people sleep in there beds

the

dop

e white mice in the college lab

othing ever h

appens,

nothing happens at

all

The n

eedle returns to the s

tart of the song

And we

all sing along like bef

ore

And we’ll a

ll be lonely toni

ght and lonely tom

orrow

Telephone

exchang

es click while theres nobody there

The

mart

ians could land in the car park and no-one would care

Close-

circuit cameras in department stores

Shoot

the same movie every night

And the

stars of these films neither died nor get killed

ust to su

rvive constant action replay

othing ever h

appens,

nothing happens at

all

The n

eedle returns to the s

tart of the song

And we

all sing along like bef

ore

And we’ll a

ll be lonely toni

ght and lonely tom

orrow

Bill

ardings advertise products that nobody needs

While

ngry from Manchester writes to complain about ll the repeats on tv

And

compute

r terminals report some gains

On the val

ue of copper and tin

While

American businessmen snap up van Goths

he price of a hospital wing

Nothing ever

happens,

nothing happens a

all

The n

eedle returns to the s

tart of the song-

And we

all sing along like bef

ore

Nothing ever

happens,

nothing happens a

all

They’ll

bur

n down the synagogues at six o clock

e’ll all go along like before

And we’ll a

ll be lonely toni

ght and lonely tom
