   VERSE

 A                E
Wendy's sittin' next to me
              F#m              D       A
She's trying hard to drink it away
                E            F#m
And I feel the rumble of the subway
              D        A
Beneath the stage
                     E           F#m
And her eyes are screaming
                   D          A
And her lips are pursed
                    E
And this ain't her first heartache
        F#m                           D
But it feels like, it feels like the worst

And she says
      A              E            Bm       A
Can someone tell me how this can happen
                  E         Bm
And I guess that God only knows
     A            E
My heart used to be
      Bm
The sweet shop of love
             A            Bm
But now the sign on the door
          E           D
It says sorry we're closed

 now repeat intro chords 1x  for this lead

verse 2

A                   E
And I hear myself tell her
          F#m                     D        A
Some old words I know they won't help
                  E
And then I feel guilty
           F#m                    D
'Cause I closed some sweet shops myself
            A
And we all talk about timing
       E
And lifestyles and such
          F#m
But to a heart that's been shattered
        D
Those words don't mean that much
     A
And all of our pining
     E
It just goes to show
           F#m
Don't you enter a shop
          D
With the sign on the door                   sorry but i didnt feel like doin
         Bm          D                       the solo but just mess around in
Saying sorry we're closed                    f# minor pentatonic thats wat
           A                    E              all the lead is in
And she's been through all the pain
      F#m      D
That one can endure
         A                   E
And her new man thinks she loves him
    F#m          D
But he can't be sure
         A                E
And his heart pines for Wendy
          F#m           D
She says that's how it goes
       A
How am I supposed to know
          E
He can't read the sign saying
  Bm          D        A      E
Sorry we're closed
            F#m       D
Yeah we're closed

And she says
      A              E            Bm       A
Can someone tell me how this can happen
                  E         Bm
And I guess that God only knows
     A           E
My heart used to be
     Bm
The sweet shop of love
               A           Bm
But there's a sign on the door
           A           D
There's a sign on the door (3 x's)           enjoy let me know how it is!!!
One more sign...
