Lyrics

I (A)guess it was your self you were in (Dmaj7)volved pi with.

I would ’ve (A7)sworn it was me.

I (A)might ’ve found out (E)soon er, if you’d (F#m)on ly let me (A7)close e nough to (Dmaj7)see.

in’ the show.

That ain't no (E)way to treat a (Amaj7)la dy, no way to treat your ba by, your wom an, your friend.

That ain’t no (E)way to treat a (Amaj9)la dy, no (Dmaj7)way,

but (Bm7)may be it’s a (E9sus)way for us to (A)end.

(A)guess I was ly be in’ for a (Dmaj7)pic pi ture

with all the (A7)col ors I know,

while (A)you were bus y (E)look in’ in to (F#m)wide ways blue to (A7)mir you, rors and (Dmaj7)lov pened a gain.

That ain't no (E)way to treat a (Amaj7)la dy, no way to treat your ba by, your wom an, your friend.

That ain’t no (E)way to treat a (Amaj9)la dy, no (Dmaj7)way,

but (Bm7)may be it’s a (E9sus)way for us to (A)end.

There’s a (F#m)fun ny kind of con so la tion (A)keep in’ me sane and I'd (E)real ly like to share it, crawl on (A)deep in my (Am)brain, and (E)see the times you nev er felt me (C#m)lov in’ you or (E)need in’ you.

So (Amaj7)leav in’ you now, you (B)still won’t know how to feel the (E)pain.

(A)end.
