[Verse 1]
G            D  C/A     Em
You speak to me in sign language,
                    D                   Em
As I'm eating a sandwich in a small cafe
C/A                  G
At a quarter to three.

[Bridge 1]
G              D     C/G          Em
But I can't re-spond to your sign language.
                    D                     Em
You're taking advan-tage, bringing me down.
                          G C/G G C/G G

'Twas there by the bakery, surrounded by fak-ery.
               D                        Em
This is my sto-ry, still I'm still there.
C/A                        G
Does she know I still care?

Link Wray was playing on a jukebox, I was paying
                        D                    Em
For the words I was say-in' so misunderstood.
