A - 0567xx OR 05677x (Whichever you think sounds right at the time)

Dsus2 -> E1? -> E2? - E3?
Badd11 -> Dadd9 -> Dadd9?
Note: for the Riff 1, you go from the D, pull off to a Dsus2 for one strum, then straight
up to the E1? This takes a little bit of getting used to, but once you've got the pattern
it's really easy.
Riff 1, but miss out the first Dsus2
Riff 1
You never were going to change your mind, were you, Emily?
Riff 1
You just sat back, took it all for you, there was nothing for me;
Riff 2
I didn't mean to prove that all I can do is lose
Riff 1
Next time that you need me, don't call me up, Emily;
Riff 1
I'm tired of your lies and your cheating ways with me;
Riff 2
And every time you go, well please don't let me know
Emily, you still live inside of me;
And, Emily, you were the fire in my tree;
So if you should fall, please don't call;
And next time you write, I won't stay up all night;
Riff 1
'Cos Emily you, just look at you - you're a tragedy
Riff 1
You never were going to change your mind, were you, Emily?
Riff 1
You just sat back, took it all for you, there was nothing for me;
Riff 2
I didn't mean to prove that all I'm good for is to lose
Emily, you still live inside of me;
And, Emily, you were the fire in my tree;
So if you should fall, please don't call;
And next time you write, I won't stay up all night;
Riff 1
'Cos Emily you, just look at you - you're a tragedy
You never were going to change you're mind were you, anyway
...Slow down Riff 1, and end on an A
