E MajorE       A augmentedA
If you ask me why

I lie to you
E MajorE
I can tell you I
A augmentedA      BB
don't know myself
  E MajorE       A augmentedA  BB
Its amazingly dishonest

But I'd have to

recognize it

As part of myself

So many times

make A augmentedA joke of it

me why I hurt you

I can't help myself

Its a special combination
  E MajorE     A augmentedA
Of predatory instinct

And simple ill will

A augmentedA
I would give some
E MajorE
thought to it

Some good

  A augmentedA     BB
Control of it
  E MajorE
And thirty is
BB     A augmentedA BB
not too old

might do me

Some good

Some good
