Tom: G
Intro: G - Bm - C - F - D
G Bm
I've always thought your eyes would burn in tears if he
C F - D
came home one day to say he'd be gone.
G Bm
There'd be another girl in his Cadillac leather seat
C F D
and she'd dance the twist much better than you'll ever do.
G Bm
Running to your room you'd bump with the old lady
C F - D
who had raised you since your parents passed away.
G Bm
He'll be ten blocks away, the bastard,
C
as you call an ambulance
F D
'cos now the lady says her body aches like hell.
C D G Em
Oh, no! Here we are again!
C D Em
In the end you're sure the world will apologize
C D G Em C D
for your broken heart, 'cos that's the way things work,
G Em C D
and if somebody eventually tells you "no, they don't", oh!
G Bm
What if this band of yours were destined to success
C F - D
and in weeks you were a well-known millionaire?
G Bm
You'd be a rock star in your white stretch limousine
C F D
and the nights in Days Inns would become nights in high-rise suites.
G Bm
350000 people would all scream
C F D
when you sang that song of love they'd been waiting for all day.
G Bm
You'd spend your lonely nights complaining about misery
C F D
despite the fact you are #1 in chart this week.
C D G
C D G Em
Oh, no! Here we are again!
C D Em
In the end you're sure the world will apologize
C D G Em C D
for your broken heart, 'cos that's the way things work,
G Em C D
and if somebody eventually tells you "no, they don't", oh!
