[Verse]
F#                       G#        B
How will I ever know you enough to love you
          G#             F#
if you're hiding who you are?
          Bm       F#
Don't ask me to explain.
          Bm       B
Don't ask me to explain.
F#          G#        B
Who are you hiding you from,
                        G#            F#
across the table with a penny in each eye?
          Bm      F#
Don't ask me to explain.
          Bm      B         C#
Don't ask me to explain.

[Bridge]
D#                G#m       F#       A#m
I'd like to marry all of my close friends,
    Bm                           C#
And live in a big house together by an angry sea.
D#                       G#              F#
Am I the devil's marbles don't move on without me
Bm
Who will be watching my body when I sleep?
C#
Who will I believe in?

[Verse]
F#                   G#     B
How am I supposed to let it show
     G#           F#
When I don't even know?
          Bm      F#
Don't ask me to explain.
          Bm      B         C#
Don't ask me to explain.
  F#                            G#               B
Besides, I don't want to be the one whose coming out first,
    G#                              F#
I'd really like to but I'm just too shy.
          Bm      F#
Don't ask me to explain.
          Bm      B         C#
Don't ask me to explain.

It's so easy to lie to myself
                 B       C#
and pretend that I could love you but I can't
