VERSE:

    A                E(x2)                   D        A(x2)
In some respects I suspect you've got a respectable side
       A                      E(x2)          D             A(x2)
When pushed and pulled and pressured, you seldom run and hide
                A              E(x2)         C        G      A
But it's for someone else's benefit not for what you want to do
   E                       G                                              Riff 1
Until I realized you that you realized I'm going to say these words to you

Riff 1:

A--2s3-3s2-0-2---==

CHORUS:


Yeah you don't know what love is, you just do as you're told

Just as a child of ten might act but you're far too old

You're not hopeless, or helpless, and I hate to sound cold
     E                    G    Riff 2
But you don't know what love is      You just do as you're told


Riff 2:
