[Verse 1]
E Esus4 E
There's somebody that I want you to know
B B6
She's a sweet, sweet friend of mine
C#m B
If she has a fault, she will go overboard
E A
When there's a man around, she flirts like a child
E Esus4 E Esus4
Darling, take a hint once and for all
B B6
Stay away from them
C#m B
'Cause everything you say just seems to them so strange
E A
They cross the street whenever they see you come
E B
When the cynics stare back from the wall
A
It's no fun at all
[Verse 2]
E Esus4 E
Honey, even when you feel flat and broken
B B6
You got to trust to a happy mind
C#m B
You could put your faith in me if you've got eyes to see
E A
And you got arms that wait for something to hold
E B
When the cynics stare back from the wall
A
It always feels cold
[Chorus]
C
When I saw you in the café today
Em
Explain it all away to me
Am
Everyone we know, every girl and boy
G
Each one is a misery
Dm
So look me straight in the eye
F
And tell me you're alright
C
'Cause I want to know the truth
G
Nothing else will do
Am E Am E
Nothing else will do
[Verse 3]
E Esus4 E
If you keep making the same mistakes over
B
You're like a puppy with a broken leg
C#m B
Hey, and if it goes okay, you've got me to blame
E A
For being so cynical, and never the boy
E B
You used to laugh at till you cried on your bed
F#
At all the stupid things I said
A
At all the stupid things I said
[Chorus]
C
When I saw you in the café today
Em
Explain it all away to me
Am
Everyone we know, every girl and boy
G
Each one is a misery
Dm
So look me straight in the eye
F
And tell me you're alright
C
'Cause I want to know the truth
G E
Nothing else will do
[Verse 4]
E Esus4 E
When the cynics stare back from the wall
B
I know it's time to change
C#m B
I was so confused by the promises
E A
And the hardest thing is to walk
G#
Towards the things you need
C#m A
When the things you want
E A
Are like vision for the blind
[Verse 5]
E Esus4 E
And I know you don't believe in a single thing
B
That you can't touch, smell, or feel
C#m B
Hey, it's been a week of woe, which way you gonna go?
E A
When your desire has but all run aground
E B
'Cause when the cynics stare back from the wall
[Outro]
A E
You'd better not fall, la-la-la-la-la-la
F#m E
You'd better not fall, la-la-la-la-la-la
A E
You'd better not fall, la-la-la-la-la-la
F#m F#m E
You'd better not fall
