ENID

(Intro)
                                   
Enid we never really knew each other anyway
                                   
Enid we never really knew each other anyway

                                  
It took me a year to believe it was over
                                           
It took me two more to get over the loss (whoa whoa)
                                       
I took a beating when you wrote me those letters
                            
And every time I remember the taste of your lip gloss

CHORUS (same as intro, but end every line on the G chord)

                                
There were times when I wanted to hurt you
                                               
And there were times when I know that I did  (whoa whoa)
                                      
There were times when I thought I would kill you
                                
But can you blame me I was only a kid


                                       
Now tell me why we never really respected each other
                                         
And tell me why I never believed that you were a person too
                                      
I always thought that you fancied my brother
                                   
I may not have liked it oh but memory is a strange thing oh and
                   
Enid, Enid I remember you


CHORUS


Repeat first verse


(Chords for this part are same as in the "Now tell me why..." part above)

Now it's not fair to say that it's 'cause I was 3 inches shorter then
And it's not fair to say that it's 'cause I was only 15 years old
But maybe it's fair to say there was a lack of communication
I took the phone message oh and speaking of communication oh well
Enid, Enid you caught a cold

                         
I could get a job I could pay the phone bills
                               
I could cut the lawn cut my hair cut out my cholesterol
                       
I could work overtime I could work in a mine

I could do it all for you

BUT I DON'T WANT TO!!


Repeat chorus several times and stir frequently
