Song: E
By:   Chris Rea

[intro:]   4 x [ Am  Dm ]  {piano riff}

[verse: 1]
Am
E is for the comfort
You give to me
Dm                     
E is for the peace
         Am      {bass slide down A to F}
I feel inside
F
E is for the good times
                         Em
That go against the bad times
Dm
E is for the world you gave us
                  E
And left us here behind
They say

[chorus:]
Am                              Dm
 (Tell me) what's so wrong with E
               G
That's what I hear them say
Am                              Dm          
 (Tell me) what's so wrong with E
               G              
That's what I hear them say

{pick up pace}  2 x { Am Dm ] {same as intro}
Let's talk about it

[verse: 2]
Am
E is for the reason
To live through urban grey
Dm
E is for the warm glow
                     Am
That takes the fear away
F
Show us what is better 
               Em
Why don't you stand inside these shoes
    Dm
Oh live with me each Monday
                E
Let's see what you would do
They say

[chorus:]
Am                              Dm
 (Tell me) what's so wrong with E
               G
That's what I hear them say
Am                              Dm          
 (Tell me) what's so wrong with E
                G              
That's what I hear them say

  2 x [ Am Dm ] {same as intro}
      Let's talk about it
      Let's talk about it

[chorus:]
 Am                            Dm
(Tell me) what's so wrong with E
               G
That's what I hear them say
 Am                            Dm          
(Tell me) what's so wrong with E
               G              

Am
Which world do you live in?
Which world did you choose?
Hiding the tears, that's all
   Dm
No win no lose
    G
No win no lose

[chorus:]
Am                                        Dm
 (Tell me) they say, what's so wrong with E
               G
That's what I hear them say

Am                 
  (Tell me)   let's talk about it
Am                  
  (Tell me)   let's talk about it
Am                  
  (Tell me)   let's talk about it
Am                   
  (Tell me)   let's talk about it
Am
