Tuning:Standard (Capo 1)

G
How could you let her touch you in a place

you didn't want touched?
G
How could you let get so close to you

that she could kiss your neck?
G

And kiss it gently, and kiss it gently

and kiss it gently?

G
How could you take a number from her

when you met her in that bar?
G
How could you offer her a drink

and then the front seat of your car?
G
And kiss her gently, and kiss her gently

and kiss her hard?


       Em       G
How could you lie to me right to my face
        Em       C
How could your best friend's, ex-girlfriend's
G
younger sister's mate
      Em      C
Know before I did? Before I did
    G
before I did

G
How could you string me along for so long

for just over 11 months?
G
How could I be so stupid and so blind?

You know I think I had a hunch
G
About this anyway, about this whole thing,

about this girl

G
I thought that it was just a phase

you were so distant and so cold
G
I thought that it was just your age

and the fear of getting old
G
You acted different, you were so different,

you were impatient


    Em        G
And you lied to me right to my face
     Em       C
And your best friend's, ex-girlfriend's
G
younger sister's mate
      Em      C
Knew before I did? Before I did
    G
before I did

       Em           C
'Cause if you run into the eye of the storm
         G            D
to get round the back, you better hit the floor

'cause screamin

Em
NO!
             C
I can't take it, I can't take it
            G
I can't take it anymore
            D
Till your eyes and your mouth is sore
    Em          C
Doesn't help anyone, doesn't do good
     G
But you'd do something else
    D
if you only could

  Em
And I wish I could grow up
    C
wish I could be well-behaved
     G
But everytime I look you in the eye
 D
I send you to the grave

     Em
And that pretty, pretty girl
     C
with her nice sweet lips
     G
With your eyes on her chest
     D
and your hands on her hips

   Em          C
This itch, this burn, this pain
       G
this draining feeling
     D
Turns out needs a cream
  Em      C
To help it go away so that's what
G       D
leaving me the gift you gave

    Em               C
Does it help? I can't take it, I can't take it
           G
I can't take it anymore
             D
I can't take it, I can't take it
           Em
I can't take it anymore
             C
I can't take it, I can't take it
           G
I can't take it anymore
             D
I can't take it, I can't take it
           Em
I can't take it anymore

             C
I can't take it, I can't take it
           G
I can't take it anymore
             D
I can't take it, I can't take it
           Em
I can't take it anymore
             C
I can't take it, I can't take it
        G
I can't take it anymore
             D
I can't take it, I can't take it
           G (till end)
I can't take it anymore
