Intro C C4 C – C C4 C – Am G x 2

C You can fake it for a while
C Bite your tongue and smile, like every Am mother does her
G ugly child… But it starts the leaking
C out… Like spittle from a cloud, amassed re-Am sentment
pelting G ounce and pound, you enter-F taining G any

F doubt… cause you had to C know that I was G fond of you
C Fond of G Y. O. F U.
Though I knew you C masked your dis-G dain
C da ra G da ra F ra…
I can see the C change was just too G hard for us
C Hard for G u-F us
You always C had to hold the G reigns

Where I’m headed,
you Dm just don’t F know the G way G/F G/E G/D

C So affections fade away
Or do a-C dults just learn to play the most Am ridiculous
Re-G pulsive games? All our favorite ruddy
C sons, and their double-barreled guns
You’d better Am hurry rabbit, G run, run, run
‘Cause F mincing G you is
C fun… and there’s a lot of hungry Am hatters in
G this world set on taking it over
But G brittle, F thorny C stems
They break before they bend and neither Am one of us
is G one of them… And the F tears will G never

F mend… ‘Cause you had it C in for me so G long ago
C Boy, I G still don’t F know
I don’t know C why and I don’t G care
Well, C hardly G any-F more
If you’d only C seen yourself G hating me
C Hating G me-F e
When I’ve been C so much more than G fair

But then you’d have to Dm lay those F feelings G bare
One Dm thing I know has C still got you G scared
Yeah, Dm all that cold C ire
And Am never once C aired on a G dare

Instr C C Am G x 4

F You had to C know that I was G fond of you
C Fond of G Y O F U
So I took your C licks at the G time
C da ra G da ra F ra…
And a change like C that is just so G hard to do
C Hard to G do-F o
Don’t let it C whip-crack your G life

And I’ll bow Dm out F from the G fight
Those Dm old pious C sisters were G right
The Dm worst part is C over
Now Am get back on C that horse and G ride
