Verse 1
=======
Em G C9
If I may be so bold could I just say something
G D Cadd9
Come and make me my day
Em G C9
The clouds around your soul don't gather there for nothing
G D Cadd9
But I can chase them all away

Or be shining for the rest of the world
Give me just a smile and would you make it snappy
Get your *** together girl

I've found this song a bit of a disappointment. I still love it but i was kinda hoping that the dirty shirt was somehow metaphorical.

Also, being really sad here, the lyrics that have been put up are gramatically very wrong. You're is what YOU'RE looking for. (you are seeing double)

Liam&Noel say..The Girl in the Dirty Shirt- "Meg is the girl in the dirty shirt. We were doing a gig in Brighton just before me and Meg were going out. She was at the hotel ironing a dirty shirt because she hadn´t brought enough clothes with her. I know it sounds a bit soft. Liam will read this and say, `You wanker!´ becuase he thinks all the songs are about him. He even thinks Wonderwall is about him."

What ever you say about, this will always be a great song. Meg is one lucky girl, then!
