🎶 Early Christmas Present

How could you [Bbm]let her touch you In a place you didn't want [Cb]touched
How could you [Bbm]let her get so close to you That she could kiss your neck
And kiss it gently And kiss it gently [Cb]And kiss it [Bbm]gently
How could you [Bbm]take her number from her When you met her in that [Cb]bar
How could you [Bbm]offer her a drink And then the front seat of your car
And kiss her gently And kiss her gently [Cb]And kiss her [Bbm]hard

How could you [Ab]lie to me right [Cb]to my [Bbm]face?
How could your [Ab]best friend's ex-girlfriend's
[Bbm]Younger sister's mate, know before [Ab]I did?
Before I did Before [Bbm]I did

How could you [Bbm]string me along for so long For just over eleven [Cb]months
How could I [Bbm]be so stupid and sublime You know I think I had a hunch
About this anyway About this whole thing [Cb]About this [Bbm]girl
I thought that [Bbm]it was just a phase You were so distant and so [Cb]cold
I thought that [Bbm]it was just your age And the fear of getting old
You acted different You were so different [Cb]You were im[Bbm]patient

And you [Ab]lied to me right [Cb]to my [Bbm]face
And your [Ab]best friend's ex-girlfriend's
[Bbm]Younger sister's mate, knew before [Ab]I did
Before I did Before [Bbm]I did

'Cause if you [Ab]run into the eye of the [Cb]storm
To get round the [Bbm]back You better hit the [Cb]floor 'Cause screaming
[Ab]No, I can't take it I can't take it [Cb]I can't take it any[Bbm]more
'Til your [Cb]eyes and your mouth is sore
Doesn't [Ab]help anyone Doesn't [Cb]do anything
But you'd [Bbm]do something else If you [D]only could

And [Ab]I wish I could grow up Wish I [Cb]could be well behaved
But every [Bbm]time I look him in the eye I [D]send him to the grave
And that [Ab]pretty, pretty girl With her [Cb]nice neat lips
With your [Bbm]eyes on her chest And your [D]hands on her hips

This [Ab]itch, this burn This [Cb]pain, this strain
[Bbm]Dealing, turned out That [D]we don't need to
[Ab]Help it go away [Cb]So that's what
[Bbm]Leaving me The [Cb]gift you gave him

[Ab]I can't take it I can't [Cb]take it
I can't [Bbm]take it anymore I can't [Cb]take it anymore
I [Ab]can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I [Cb]can't take it anymore
I [Bbm]can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I [D]can't take it anymore⠀
