[Verse 1]
You [Am]want to know why I [D]hate you?
Well I'll [C]try and ex[D]plain
You re[Am]member that day in [D]Paris
When we [C]wandered through the [D]rain
And [Am]promised to each [D]other
That we'd [C]always think the [D]same
And [Am]dreamed that dream
to [D]be two souls as [C]one[D]

[Pre-chorus 1]
And [Bm]stopped just as the [Am]sun set
And [Bm]waited for the [Am]night
Out[Bm]side a glittering [Am]building
Of [Bm]glittering glass and burning light

[Verse 2]
And [Am]in the road befo[D]re us
Stood a [C]weary grayish [D]man
Who [Am]held a child up[D]on his back
A [C]small boy by the [D]hand
The [Am]three of them were [D]dressed in rags
And [C]thinner than [D]air
And [Am]all six eyes s[D]tared fixedly on y[C]ou[D]

[Pre-chorus 2]
The [Bm]father's eyes said [Am]"Beautiful!
How [Bm]beautiful you [Am]are!"
The [Bm]boy's eyes said "How [Am]beautiful!
She [Bm]shimmers like a star!"

[Chorus 1]
The [Am]child's eyes uttered [Em]nothing
But a [F]mute and utter [G]joy
And [Am]filled my heart with [Em]shame for us
At the [F]way we [G]are
At the [Am]way we [Em]are[F][F][G]
[Am][Em][F][F][G]

[Verse 3]
I [Am]turned to look at [D]you
To read my [C]thought upon your [D]face
And [Am]gazed so deep in[D]to your eyes
So [C]beautiful and [D]strange
Un[Am]til you spoke [D]and showed me
under[C]standing is a [D]dream
"I [Am]hate these people [D]staring
Make them [C]go away from [D]me!"

[Pre-chorus 3]
The [Bm]father's eyes said [Am]"Beautiful!
How [Bm]beautiful you [Am]are!"
The [Bm]boy's eyes said "How [Am]beautiful!
She [Bm]shimmers like a star!"

[Chorus 2]
The [Am]child's eyes uttered [Em]nothing
But a [F]quit and utter [G]joy
And [Am]stilled my heart with [Em]sadness
For the [F]way we [G]are
For the [Am]way we a[Em]re[F][F][G]
For the [Am]way we a[Em]re[F][F][G]

And [Dm]this is why I [Am]hate you
And [Dm]how I unders[Am]tand
That [Dm]no-one ever [Am]knows or loves an[F]other
Or [G]loves an[Am]oth er
