Band: Barenaked Ladies
Tabbed by: family_jewels

G             Am               Cm       G
Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
G             Am               Cm       F
Enid we never really knew each other anyway.

F             C                     G         F
It took me a year to believe it was over,
                    C                   Bm       E      F
and it took me two more to get over the loss, oh-whoa
          C                               G         F
I took a beating when you wrote me those letters,
           C                     D
and every time I remembered the taste of your lipgloss.

Chorus:
G             Am               Cm       G
Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
G             Am               Cm       G
Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
G               Am                     Cm       G
Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway
    G             Am               Cm        G
but Enid we never really knew each other anyway.

F           C                     G           F
There were times when I wanted to hurt you,
                C                       Bm       E      F
and there were times when I know that I did, oh-whoa
            C                            G         F
There were times when I thought I would kill you,
             C                     D
but can you blame me I was only a kid.

Am      D            G      G/F#           Em         Am
Tell me why we never really respected each other.
            D               G         G/F#       Em            Am      
and tell me why I never believed that you were a person too.
           D                          G         G/F#      Em   Am
I always thought that you fancied my brother.
                D               G   G/F#    Em                     Am    
I may not have liked it, oh but memory is a strange thing, oh, and Enid?
D                      G (stacatto)
Enid I remember you.

Chorus 

Verse 3: (Same as others)
it took me a year to believe it was over,
and it took me two more to get over the loss.
I took a beating when I wrote you those letters,
and every time you told me to get lost.

Am           D     
Now it's not fair to say that it's
       G     G/F#          Em              Am
'cause I was three inches shorter then,
             D
and it's not fair to say that it's 'cause
G          G/F#          Em         Am
I was only fifteen years old.
                D                    G        G/F#  Em         Am
But maybe it's fair to say it was a lack of communication,
                D               g          G/F#    Em             Am
I took a phone message, oh and speaking of communication, oh, and Enid,
D
Enid you got a cold.

G                     Am
I can get a job I can pay the phone bills
               Cm                 G
I can cut the lawn, cut my hair, cut out my cholesterol
G                   Am
I can work overtime I can work in a mine
Cm
I can do it all for you,
G (stacatto)
But I don't want to.

G             Am               Cm        G
Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
G             Am               Cm        G
Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
G             Am               Cm        G
Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
G                Am                     Cm        G
Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway,
G             Am               Cm            G
But Enid we really never knew each other anyway

(Behind the last part, so same chords)
G                             Am
I can teach you how to dance, how to sing, how to knit,
Cm                          G
How to make things that you never ever made before

   Cm                        G
To make crazy things out of Play-Doh.
                G                   Am
Little houses, little farms, little accessories for your mom,
Cm                             G
For your Barbie set, for your friends and your family
G                             Am                       Cm

Enid we never really knew each other anyway
G             Am               Cm        G

G (stacatto)       Am (stacatto)   Cm (stacatto)  G (let ring)
Enid we never really knew each other anyway

For the last line, the chords are staggered a bit... that is to say,
they're played a beat or two after they would normally be.
