Tom: C
C C7M F G C
don't talk to me in that familiar way
C7M F G
when the keys are in my hand
C C7M F G C
don't say that everything is here to stay
C7M F G
and I must try to understand
C Am Dm7
when I'm trying not to look into your eyes
G C
trying not to listen to your lies
Am Dm7
trying just to keep hold of myself
G
oh but it's hard
C C7M F G
when you leave me on the shelf
C C7M F
you say I set a path
G
for you to follow
C C7M F G
and I've already given in
C C7M F
but I only meant for you
G
to taste not swallow
C C7M F G
where I end is where you must begin
C Am Dm7
so try not to look into their eyes
G C
try not to listen to their lies
Am Dm7
try just to keep hold of yourself
G
oh I know it's hard
C C7M F G
when they leave you on their shelf
C C7M
she's such a sweet girl
F G
free of the taints of this world
C C7M
think that's a compliment
F G
don't be so full of sentiment
C Am
why you worship sweetness
Dm7
what virtue's there in weakness
G
being pushed about is nothing much
C C7M F G
to shout about I know
C Am Dm7
So...try not to look into their eyes...
