When The Cynics Stare Back From The Wall Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]There's somebody that
I want you to know
She's [A]a sweet, sweet friend of mine
If she [Bm]has a fault, she will go [A]overboard
When there's [D]a man around,
she flirts like [G]a child
Darling, [D]take a hint once and for all
[A]Stay away from them
'Cause [Bm]everything you say
Just seems to [A]them so strange
They cross [D]the street whenever
they see you [G]come
When the cyn[D]ics stare
back from [A]the wall
It's no fun at all
[G]

[Verse 2]
Honey, [D]even when you feel
flat and broken
You got [A]to trust to a happy mind
You could put your [Bm]faith in me
If you've got [A]eyes to see
And you got [D]arms that wait
for something to hold
[G]When the cynics[D] stare back from the[A] wall
It always feels cold
[G]

[Verse 3]
When [Bb]I saw you in the cafe today
Explain it all [Dm]away to me
Everyone we know,
[Gm]every girl and boy
Each one is [F]a misery
So look me [Cm]straight in the eye
and tell me [Eb]you're alright
'Cause I want to know the [Bb]truth
Nothing else will [F]do
Nothing else will do
[Gm][D][Gm][D]

[Verse 4]
If you keep making the same
mistakes over
You're like [A]a puppy with a broken leg
Hey, and if it [Bm]goes okay,
you've got [A]me to blame
For being [D]so cynical,
and never [G]the boy
You used [D]to laugh at 'til
you cried on your [A]bed
At all the stupid [E]things I said
At all the stupid [G]things I said

[Verse 5]
When [Bb]I saw you in the cafe today
Explain it all [Dm]away to me
Everyone we [Gm]know, every girl and boy
Each one is [F]a misery
So look me [Cm]straight in the eye
And tell me [Eb]you're alright
'Cause I want to know [Bb]the truth
Nothing else will do
[F]

[Verse 6]
[D]
When the cynics stare back from the wall
[A]I know it's time to change
I [Bm]was so confused by the [A]promises
And the [D]hardest thing is to [G]walk
Towards the [F#]things you need
When the [Bm]things [G]you want
Are like [D]vision for the [G]blind

[Verse 7]
And [D]I know you don't
believe in a single thing
That you [A]can't touch, smell, or feel
Hey, it's been a [Bm]week of woe
Which way you [A]gonna go?
When your de[D]sire has but
all run [G]aground
'Cause when the cyn[D]ics stare
back from the [A]wall
You'd better not [G]fall,
ba-da-da, da-da-ba
You'd [D]You'd You'd You'd You'd better not [Em]fall,
ba-da-da, da-da-ba
[D]You'd You'd You'd You'd You'd better not [G]fall,
ba-da-da, da-da-ba
You'd You'd [D]You'd You'd
You'd better not [Em]fall

[Outro 1]
[Em]
