C Em F Dm
I never meant for anything to get this far,
C Em F Dm
I didn't mean to hurt you, that's just how things are.
C Em Am F
Listen to me my dear, that's what you said.
C F Em F
I tipped the table over, on your promises,
C F Em F
I threw a candle at you.
C Em F Dm
Christina you were so pretty when we went to school,
C Em F Dm
The other girls just wanted to be pretty too,
C Em Am Dm
And when they turned against you, I was there.
C F Em F
But now I'm turning over, on your promises,
C F Em Dm
I'm piling rocks upon you.
Am* Em*
You didn't have to run,
F* C*
I wasn't gonna keep you, for very long.
Am* Em* F Em
You had to make a song and dance out of it,
F Em F G F
I lost my patience, then things went black.
C Em F Dm
I never meant for anything to get this far,
C Em F Dm
I didn't mean for anyone to come to harm.
C Em Am F
But when I want to see you, I know where you'll be,
C F Em F
Past the Coach and Horses, by an apple tree,
C F Em F
I could bring you roses.
C , Em , F , Dm x2

C* Em* F* Dm*
Christina I saw your sister on the road this week,
C* Em* F* Dm*
I asked after your mother and she smiled at me.
C* Em* Am* F*
I don't know how to tell you but I think she's sweet,
C* F* Em* F*
I think I'm falling for her, I think she's falling for me.
C* F* Em F
But I'll keep coming for you.
Am Em F C
Why did you take so long? You're getting like your sister.
Am Em F Em
You say I was the one, but I get so lonely,
F Em F Em F G F
When you stay out and it gets me angry, then things go black.
C Em F Dm
I never meant for anything to get this far,
C Em F Dm
I didn't mean for anyone to come to harm.
C Em Am F
But when I want to see you, I know where you'll be,
C F Em F
Past the Coach and Horses, by an apple tree,
C F Em F
I could bring you roses.
C Em F Dm
Christina now that your sisters playing games with me,
C Em F Dm
I wish you could have seen her carry on this week.
C Em Am F
It all just makes me miss you a little more,
C F Em F
But you're just like each other, so you belong together.
C F Em F
So I'll stop coming for you.
End on C
