1.
D — A / Bm G
I don’t want to change your mind — I don’t want to think about your mind
E A Bm E
they say love is blind — I don’t think you’re blind
You don’t want to understand and I don’t want to shake your father’s hand
and walk in the sand and act like a man
Chorus:
G A Bm E
I get on the bus and ride past our stop — and though I’m late I can’t get off
G A
I just can’t bear to tell you some lies
|: D A 😐
and narrow your eyes
narrow your eyes
2.
We’ll take back everything we said — split up all the things and move ahead
forget how you said to split your side off the bed
Chorus:
I get on my bike and ride down our block
ride through the world thru the green lights
but when I think of all your advice
I narrow my eyes
narrow my eyes
Instrumental:
E — — —
Em A F#m B
Em A D —
(Repeat verse 1)
Em A F#m B
Now let’s toast the sad cold fact our love’s never coming back
Em A
and we’ll race to the bottom of a glass
|: D A 😐
So narrow your eyes
-E.M.
