Tom: C

INTRO: C

         Em                F      C
Hear you coming up the driveway 
        Em           F      G
I tie a ribbon in my hair 
                   F        D
Look who's come to see me 
                        G 
Funny, you always end up here 


CHORUS:
         F   G      C       
But it's still__ pretending
         F   G   C 
And it's still__ wrong 
      F     G     C    Em F 
And I still can't tell my heart
   G           C 
Why I'm still alone


        Em                   F              C
Well, I guess I'm s'posed to lock you out 
        Em                   F               G
Well, I guess I'm s'posed to play it tough 
                       F       D
But I see how you look at me 
                    G 
Baby, it always is enough 
 
 
CHORUS:
         F   G      C       
But it's still__ pretending
         F   G   C 
And it's still__ wrong 
      F     G     C    Em F 
And I still can't tell my heart
   G           C       G
Why I'm still alone

 
BRIDGE:
    N.C.        G               N.C. D
Barefoot in the kitchen laughing
              N.C.  D              Em 
Till you leave, and I'll be crying 
                                   F
Inside the door I close behind you 
                  G 
Wishing you would stay 
 
 
CHORUS:
N.C.      F   G      C       
But we're still__ pretending
          F   G   C 
And we're still__ wrong (so wrong) 
      F     G     C    Em F 
And I still can't tell my heart
   G           C   
Why I'm still alone 
            F  G   C 
Oh, tell me why I'm still alone 
       F   G               C       C6
Oh, oh, why I'm still alone___
