(Asus)               (E)
wendy sittin next to me
           (F#sus?)          (Dsus)
she's tryin hard to drink it away
(Asus)               (E)
  and i feel the rumble
        (F#sus?)          (Dsus)
of the subway beneath the stage
and her eyes are screamin
and her lips are pursed
this ain't her first heartache
but it feels like, feels like the worst, and she says

(chorus)
(Asus)              (E)           (Bsus?)
can someone tell me how this can happen
(Asus)         (E)      (Bsus?)
  i guess that god only knows
   (Asus)        (E)  (Bsus?)
my heart used to be a sweet shop of love
            (Asus)      (E)        (Dsus)----
but now the sign on the door says, "sorry, we're closed"


and i hear myself tell her
some old words, know they won't help
and then i feel guilty
'cause i've closed some sweet shops myself
we all talk about timing and lifestyles and such
but to a heart that's been shattered words don't mean much
all of our pining, it just goes to show
don't you enter a shop with a sign on the door sayin
sorry we're closed


(chorus)


well, she's been through all the pain that one can endure
and this new man thinks she loves him, but he can't be sure
his heart cries for wendy, she says that's how it goes
well how was i supposed to know he can't read the sign sayin
sorry we're closed


(chorus)

 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

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!!!
