Tom: G

Intro: Em  C  G  D
      (Em  C  G)

Bm              A/B
Staring all alone
              C/A          G
At your grace and style
Bm                 A/B
Cut me to the bone
                 C/A              G
With your razor blade smile
D                     Em       C
I watched you playing pool
G                           G/F C/E          D     G
It's all around the scho--ol  that I love you

Bm                       A/B
I love your gypsy hair
        C/A             G
And dark brown eyes
Bm                A/B
Always unprepared
               C/A       G
For your pointed replies
D       Em    C
Cynical and lean
G                       G/F C/E   D     G
I lie awake and dre--am  about you

G/F    C     F
If you only knew
G/F          C       F
What I'm going through
         Bb    Eb       Ab   Db
Time and again I get ashamed
      G           C
To say your name
G/F             C           F
It's hard to grin and bear
G/F               C            F
When you're standing there
      Bb         Eb
My lips are dry
   Ab             Db        G     C
I catch your eye and look away

Bm               A
Sitting in my room
C             G
I've got it bad
Bm                 A
Crying for the moon
C                      G
They think I'm mad
D                Em  C
They say it isn't real
G                           G/F   C/E          D    G
But I know what I fe-----el    and I love you

D                 Em        C
But I would give my life
G                  G/F  C/E   D        G
For a single nig----ht     beside you
