C majorC C7M FF G+G C majorC
Don't talk to me in that familiar way

When the keys are in my hand
C majorC C7M FF G+G C majorC
Don't say that everything is here to stay
C7M FF G+G
And I must try to understand

When I'm try-ing not to look into your eyes

Oh but it's hard when you leave me on the shelf

You say that I set a path for you to follow

And I've already given in
C majorC C7M FF G+G
But I only meant for you to taste not swallow
C majorC C7M FF G+G
Where I end is where you must begin

So tr-y not to look into their eyes

Try just to keep hold of yourself

Oh I know it's hard when they leave you on their shelf

She's such a sweet girl

Free of the taints of this world

Being pushed about is nothing much to shout about I know

So tr-y not to look into their eyes

Try not to listen to their lies
A minorAm Dm7Dm7
Try just to keep hold of yourself

Oh I know it's hard when they leave you on their shelf
