Tired Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh, what's [Em]the use of trying
[D]All you get is grades like that
Howard there's a very familiar
pattern of behavior there
Sometimes we expect great things
Things can't always work out
the way [Bm]we expect
[Em]When we're severely [Bm]disappoin[D]ted
We become emotion[Em]ally upset
Well, let me try to [F#m]give you
an example of this
Pattern of emotional up[A]sets[D]

[Verse 2]
You say you're [D]tired [Bm]and I
under[F#m]stand[D][Em]
Cause you're my woman
and [A]I'm your [D]man
I'll always [Bm]wait [D]wit[Em]h you
Always and is sure,
of [Bm]what [A]to [D]do

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Bm][D][Bm]
[D][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]I[A]
[D]drag my feet,
[Em]all [Bm]the way long[F#m][Em]
Figured I should probably
spend [Bm]some [A]time alo[D]ne
Me, my[F#dim]self, and[D][Bm]
[Em]my cold [Bm]eye[D][Em]
We always got dumbfounded
and [A]we can cry

[Verse 4]
[D]
Now, dreaming,
together with realistic plan[Bm]ning
Can be very fruitful
[E]But[Bm] John[Em]'s dream
was not realistic
He expec[A]ted perfection
on his very first try

[Verse 5]
Naturally
[D]You say you're tired and[Bm]
I under[F#m]stand[Em]
Cause you're my woman
[A]and I'm your man
[D]I'll always wai[Bm]t wit[D]h you[Em]
Always and is sure,
[Bm]of w[A]hat to d[D]o[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[D][Bm][D][Em][A]

[Verse 6]
[D]They scream from the towers,
[Bm]sit back and relax[Em]
I listen closely,
for they can[A]'t repeat [D]their lies
I'm at the prize of a [Bm]good life,
and that's where I'll [Em]stay
So darling for [Bm]you I[Em]'m gonna
[A]change my ways

[Interlude 3]
[D][Bm][Em][A]

[Verse 7]
[D]You say you're tir[Bm]ed and I u[E]nde[Bm]rstand
[Em]Cause you're my woman
[A]and I'm your man
[D]I'll always wait wit[Bm]h you[D][Em]
Always and is sure,
[Bm]of w[A]hat to[D] d[Bm]o

[Verse 8]
John's so dis[D]appointed that he
suffered an emotional upset
He [Bm]raged and stormed
[E]But [Bm]that's so childish!
[Em]Yes, it was an infantile reaction,
An[A]d of course,
you wouldn't act that way would you?
Oh, no, that's silly!
But you might feel that way
