Verse 1:
(C#m)
Girl, don’t you know everytime I see you smiling
Hurts so bad ’cause when I see you I start crying
Try everything to stop but there’s no denying
Falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying
D C#
Ahh… don’t walk away
D B
How… how can I make you stay
Don’t turn away
I can still hear you saying those
Chorus:
E A E
Words that never were true
A E A C#
Spoken to help nobody but you
F# B F#
Words with lies inside
B F# B D#
But small enough to hide ’til your playing was through
[repeat intro riff, 1X]
Verse 2:
Girl don’t you know we can work it out with talking
You won’t turn around nor slow down your walking
I’ve given you everything with a kiss to seal it
You have to get your kicks out of tryin’ to steal it
Now… I’m standing [2: here]
Strange… strange voices in my ears
I feel the tears
But all I can hear are those
[repeat chorus]
[repeat intro riff, 2X]
Instrumental break:
