This is intended as a more accessable version for acoustic guitar
accompaniment. Paul Weller actually plays higher octave inversions
on his electric Rickenbacker to get that bright and sharp sound.
 
For the main Riff, emphasise the bass note first before accenting
the chords on the off-beat.
For the Bridge sections finger-pick the chords as arpeggios,
the C chords at this section (indicated with an asterick)
have an added G note on the 1st string.
 
IGNORE ANY CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS the website automatically imposes,
often do not display the best option for a particular
chord sequence.
Just follow the voicings as in the numbered columns listed below:
 
G7 = 320001    D  = xx0232     Gmaj7/B = x20032
D7 = xx0212    E7 = 022130     C*      = x32013
Bm = x24432    Am = x02210     Dsus4   = xx0233
C  = x32010

[Verse 1]
Bm                         C              Bm
    It's not important for you to know my name,
              D       Bm
Nor I to know yours------,
                C                    Bm                  E7
If we communi - cate for two minutes only it will be e - nough,
    Am                 D          Am                    D
But knowing someone in this world feels as desparate as me,
                              G7    D7
And what you give is what you get
 
[Verse 2]
Bm                          C              Bm
    It doesn't matter if we never meet a - gain,
                       D              Bm
What we have said will always remain------,
                      C           Bm                E7
If we get through for two minutes only it will be a start
    Am                      D
But knowing that someone in this life,
Am                          D
Loves with a passion called hate,
                              G7    D7
And what you give is what you get

If I never ever see you,  (If I never ever see you!)
