"Lovefool"
recorded by the Cardigans
lyrics and music by Peter Svensson and Nina Persson
Note: I have included, denoted with parentheses(sp?) slightly easier but
slightly less cool-sounding fingerings for the 13 chords (e.g. G13, E13)
Each section is clearly denoted with capital letters (e.g. BRIDGE, TAG).
Please mail me with any comments, suggestions or corrections.

Intro:
sustained Am7 chord
.
VERSE 1:
Am7 Dm7
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
G13 Cmaj7
you love me no longer, I know
Am7 Dm7
and maybe there is nothing that I can do
G13 Cmaj7
to make you do
.
Am7 Dm7
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
G13 Cmaj7
that I ought to stick to another man
Am7 Dm7
a man that surely deserves me
G13
but I think you do!
.
.
BRIDGE (sorta):
Cmaj7 C#dim7 Dm7 D#dim7 E
So I cry, and I pray and I beg

Amaj7 Dmaj7
Love me love me
Bm7 E13
say that you love me
Amaj7 Dma7
fool me fool me
Bm7 E13

love me love me
Bm7 E13
pretend that you love me
Amaj7 Dma7
leave me leave me

just say that you need me
F#m Bm7
So I cried
E13 Amaj7
and I begged for you to

leave me leave me
Bm7 E13
just say that you need me

A Dm E#5 Am7
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
.
VERSE 2:
Lately I have desperately pondered,
spent my nights awake and I wonder
what I could have done in another way
to make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
as long as you don't go
.

So I cry, I pray and I beg...
