There is basically two different chord patterns throughout the song, just repeat
them for the verse + chorus (i've only put them down once).
Intro (F, C, Bb)
Verse---------------------------------------------
F
If you see me out,
C
If you see me in the street,
Bb
Well I may be having a lot of fun.
And if I could cut it up, then I would n'all
And If I couldn't shut it off, then I would n'all
So sorry angel,
Oh sorry about it all
Oh sorry angel,
Its a cruel call

Oh you were only waiting for

For the world to catch you up at all.
Dm
Oh you were only waiting,
C
Oh you were only waiting for,
Bb
For the world to catch you up that’s all,
Gm Dm

Verse2----------------------------------------------------
F
I saw you reading the Daily Star
C
Saw you watching the X Factor
Bb
And I was wondering how could you fall so far.
Did you like it when your heart moved faster?

Where did it all go wrong?
So sorry angel,
Oh sorry little girl
Oh sorry angel,
Its a cruel world
