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
G Am
Enid, I can teach you how to use cookie cutters
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, I can teach you how to snowmobile, cross-country ski, snowshoe,
G
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 (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.
