[Verse]
E There's somebody that
Esus4 E
I want you to know B B6 She's a sweet, sweet friend of mine C#m If she has a fault,
B
she will go overboard E When there's a man around,
A
she flirts like a child E Esus4 E Esus4 Darling, take a hint once and for all B B6 Stay away from them C#m 'Cause everything you say just seems to
B
them so strange E They cross the street whenever
A
they see you come E B When the cynics stare back from the wall A It's no fun at all [Verse]
E Esus4 E Honey, even when you feel flat and broken B B6 You got to trust to a happy mind C#m You could put your faith in me if
B
you've got eyes to see E And you got arms that wait for
A
something to hold E B When the cynics stare back from the wall A It always feels cold [Chorus]
C When I saw you in the café today Em Explain it all away to me Am Everyone we know, every girl and boy G Each one is a misery Dm So look me straight in the eye F And tell me you're alright C 'Cause I want to know the truth G Nothing else will do Am E Am E Nothing else will do [Verse]
E If you keep making the
Esus4 E
same mistakes over B You're like a puppy with a broken leg C#m Hey, and if it goes okay,
B
you've got me to blame E For being so cynical,
A
and never the boy E You used to laugh at till
B
you cried on your bed F# At all the stupid things I said A At all the stupid things I said [Chorus]
C When I saw you in the café today Em Explain it all away to me Am Everyone we know, every girl and boy G Each one is a misery Dm So look me straight in the eye F And tell me you're alright C 'Cause I want to know the truth G E Nothing else will do [Verse]
E When the cynics stare back
Esus4 E
from the wall B I know it's time to change C#m B I was so confused by the promises E A And the hardest thing is to walk G# Towards the things you need C#m A When the things you want E A Are like vision for the blind [Verse]
E And I know you don't believe in a
Esus4 E
single thing B That you can't touch,
smell, or feel C#m Hey, it's been a week of woe,
B
which way you gonna go? E When your desire has but
A
all run aground E 'Cause when the cynics stare back
B
from the wall [Outro]
A You'd better not fall,
E
la-la-la-la-la-la F#m You'd better not fall,
E
la-la-la-la-la-la A You'd better not fall,
E
la-la-la-la-la-la F#m F#m E You'd better not fall
