This is a pretty standard Smiths song. Of course Marr improvises a lot by
playing the E chord on the fourth fret while he has another guitar playing an open E chord.
A note: When playing the E chord during the verses, to get that one note drone, make sure
you play the note G on the lower E string and bend it (with your pinky) to give it that bluesy
flavour.

| Like most Smiths songs, it's about a gay guy that is in love with his straight friend. | |

| I agree with Birdy, tbh. It's absolutely obligatory to listen to I Know It's Over while drinking heavily if you've been dumped. Not this song tho...not enough self pity in this one... ;) | |

| This song has become a kind of anthem for me in connection to a relationship I have just ended. all the time I thought I could convince someone to love me, but it ended up blowing up in my face.The Smiths are my official breakup theraphy. It helps to wollow in your self pity, till you get over it. | |
