Song: Girl Of Mine 
By:   Blue Rodeo

[intro:]  |G  |D  |Em  |C  |G  |Gsus4 G  |

[verse: 1]
Gsus4    G
Girl of mine
Gsus4  G	   C
Where did we go  wrong
Gsus          G
I never once said you loved me
     Gsus4     G
And you never once called my name
     Am     D	
And now I,    I can see the way
     Em
My memories like cigarettes
       Cmaj7          C
Blow smoke upon the screen
   Em	     	   Bm
I stare up to the empty face
 	 C	           D
That's hanging inside my dreams
	G                D/F#
In the words of love I hesitate
     Em	             Bm7	   C         D
They all come rushing into me too late, too late

[verse: 2]
Gsus4     G
Days and nights
Gsus4      G            C	
Wondering what could it be
Gsus4     G
Did you need somebody stronger
Gsus4      G	
Someone to see you through
    Am    D   
Oh girl     I never knew
     Em			
Now your lipstick and  your powder
          Cmaj7          C
They're all put away in drawers
	Em	       Bm
But the traces of our love affair
        C	       D
Still hide behind the doors
  G	       D/F#
(I lie awake, afraid to sleep)
 I lie awake, afraid to sleep

	   Em  	         Bm7	           C
(Cause I'll see the face I knew I'd never keep)
 Cause I'll see the face I knew I'd never keep
	  D
I'd never keep              [pause]

[bridge:]
	        Gsus4   G
Too much to bear
            Am	       Em
Too much, I fall down drunk
	    C
Too much I care______________

[solo: piano]   {same chords as verse except add an extra bar on C}

[verse: 3]
Gsus4    G
Tell me now 
Gsus4    G	     	                    C
Do the words of love still seem the same to you
Gsus4            G
Now you learned the angry lessons
Gsus4          G
And we still came back for more
Am		D
Forget somehow,   what came before
Em		       
My senses have been shocked
        Cmaj7           C
And I'm alive to every pain
      Em	     Bm
Your quiet laughter comes to me 
      C		  D
It echoes in the rain
	G		 D/F#
(In the darkness of my lonely room)
 In the darkness of my lonely room
     Em  		   Bm7	      C
(I pray that you won't fade away too soon)
 I pray that you won't fade away too soon
     D
Too soon              {pause}
 
[bridge:]
	         Gsus4  G
Too much to bear
	     Am        Em
Too much, I fall down drunk
	    C	                       G
Too much I care_________  oh__________oh
