[G][C][G][C][G][C][Am][D]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][Am][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]I've kept my head against the [C]wall
I've [G]been this way for [C]so long now
[G]You weren't exactly falling
[C]over [D]yourself[Am][C]
[D]When las[G]t I saw[D] you[G]
Well I [C]always [D]thought[G]
We'd get along like [C]a house on fire
[G]Until you told me that I'd hav[C]e to go
[D]How can[Am] some[C]one like you
[G]work that [D]slow[G]

[Verse 2]
Whatever you [Em]think of [D]me[Am]
You [D]listen hard and I will
make [Am]you s[D]ee[G]
Whatever you [Em]think of [C]me
[Am]You [D]listen hard and I will make you see

[Verse 3]
[G]I[C][G][C][G][C][D][Am][D][G]
[Am]don't
[D]fee[G]l anything no mor[C]e[Em]
[G]This state of grace is con[C]suming me
I'm [G]not grown up and [C]I am not a boy
[D]I feel no [C]pain an[D]d I f[G]eel no j[D]oy[G]
Well I [C]always thought
[G]We'd get along like a hou[C]se on fire
[G]In those days when the[C] sun was warm
[D]I ran in [C]the street where
[D]I was b[G]orn

[Verse 4]
Whatever you think [Em]of me[D]
You listen hard and I will make
[G]you see
[Em]Whatever you think of [D]me
You listen hard and I will [Am]make you see[D]
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Am][D][G][C][D]
[G][C][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]The streets are so empty
at this time of night
I'd rather walk on [C]my own [Am]than [D]fig[G]ht
In a world where I'd forgotten you
I [C]found myself for[D]gotten, [G]too
That's the danger of believing books
And [C]all the [G]lies of those [D]thieves and crooks
[G]We sing intellectual songs of [C]love
From [G]a stolen [C]pen[Am] to a[D] velvet glove.
[G]
