Am7 Dm7 Em
Don't talk to me in that familiar way
Am7 Dm7 Em
When the keys are in my hand
Am7 Dm7 Em
Don't say that everything is here to stay
Am7 Dm7 Em
And I must try to understand
[Chorus]
C C7 F
When I'm trying not to look into your eyes
Fm C
Trying not to listen to your lies
C7 F
Trying just to keep hold of myself
Fm Am7
Oh but it's hard when you leave me on the shelf
[Verse]
Am7 Dm7 Em
You say that I set a path for you to follow
Am7 Dm7 Em
And I've already given in
Am7 Dm7 Em
But I only meant for you to taste not swallow
Am7 Dm7 Em
Where I end is where you must begin
[Chorus]
C C7 F
So try not to look into their eyes
Fm C
Try not to listen to their lies
C C7 F
Try just to keep hold of yourself
F Fm Am7 Dm7 Em
Oh I know it's hard when they leave you on their shelf
[Bridge]
C FMaj7
She's such a sweet girl
Fmaj7 C
Free of the taints of this world
C
Think that's a compliment
Fmaj7
Don't be so full of sentiment
Dm7 Am7
Why you worship sweetness
Am7 Dm7
What virtue's there in weakness
Dm7 Fm Am7 Dm7 Em
Being pushed about is nothing much to shout about I know
[Chorus]
C C7 F
So try not to look into their eyes
Fm C
Try not to listen to their lies
C C7 F
Try just to keep hold of yourself
F Fm C
Oh I know it's hard when they leave you on their shelf
