[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Em][Am][Dm][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
Don't talk [Dm]to
me in that famil[Em]iar [Am]way
When the keys are in my
[Dm]hand[Em][Am]
Don't say that [Dm]everything is here [Em]to stay
[Am]And I must try to understand[Dm][Em]

[Verse 2]
When [C]I'm trying not to look
into [F]your [Dm]eyes
Trying [Ddim]not to listen to [Dm]your [C]lies
Trying just to keep hold of my[F]self
[Dm]Oh, but it's hard [Ddim]when you leave me
[Dm]on t[Am]he shelf
[Dm][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
You say, I [Dm]set a path for you
[Em]to f[Am]ollow
And I've already given [Dm]in[Em]
[Am]But I only meant[Dm] for you to tast[Em]e,
not [Am]swallow
Where I end is where [Dm]you must begin
[Em]And

[Verse 4]
[C]try not to look
into [F]their [Dm]eyes
[Ddim]Try not to l[Dm]isten to the[C]ir lies
Try just to keep hold of your[F]self
[Dm]Oh, [Ddim]I know it's hard when they leave
[Dm]you on [Am]their [Dm]shelf[Em]

[Verse 5]
[C]She's such a s[Em]weet gir[F]l free
of [Am]the taints of this world
[C]Think that's a compliment,
don't [F]be so [Dm]full of sen[Am]timent
[Dm]Why you worship [Am]sweetness?
What virtue's there in weakness?
[Dm]Being pushed about is nothing much[Ddim] to shou[Dm]t about,
[Am]I kn[Dm]ow[Em]

[Verse 6]
[Em]So t[C]ry not to look into their ey[F]es
[Dm]Try [Ddim]not to l[Fm]isten to t[G]hei[C]r lies
Try just to keep hold of your[F]self
Oh, [Dm]I know it's hard [Ddim]when they lea[Fm]ve you on [Dm]thei[C]r
