Girl

Lennon, McCartney / the Beatles (1965)

Is there	anybody	going to listen	to my	story

	Am	C	G		B7
	all about the	girl who came to	stay?

She's the	kind of girl you	want so much it	makes you	sorry

	Am	C	G		B7
	Still, you don't re	gret a single	day.

When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her,

She will turn to me and start to cry.

And she promises the earth to me and I believe her,

after all this time I don't know why.

	Am	E	Am		E		Am
	She's the kind of girl who puts you	down when friends are there, you feel a	fool.

	Am	E	Am	C
	When you say she's looking good she	acts as if it's understood.	She's coo-oo-	ool!

Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure?

Did she understand it when they said:

that a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure,

Will she still believe it when he's dead?
