Say No To This

D7                                
There's nothing like summer in the
       F#m D7
 city
Someone under stress meets someone 
                F#m D7
looking pretty

There's trouble in the air, you can 
smell it

And Alexander's by himself. I'll let
 him tell it

           A
I hadn't slept in a week

I was weak, I was awake
          Aaug
You never seen a bastard orphan

More in need of a break
F#m/A
Longing for Angelica

Missing my wife
             A7
That's when Miss Maria Reynolds 
walked into my life, she said:

A
I know you are a man of honor
Aaug
I'm so sorry to bother you at home
      F#m/A                        
But I don't know where to go, and I
A7
 came here all alone…

She said:

 A
My husband's doin' me wrong
   Aaug
Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin'
 me...
F#m/A
Suddenly he's up and gone
A7
I don't have the means to go on

      F#m                          
So I offered her a loan, I offered 
                      D7
to walk her home, she said


You're too kind, sir


            F#m
I gave her thirty bucks that I had 
socked away
                    D7
She lived a block away, she said:


This one's mine, sir


        F#m
Then I said, "well, I should head 
back home,"
                     D7
She turned red, she led me to her 
bed

Let her legs spread and said:


Faug
Stay?


Hey…


Hey…


That's when I began to pray:
    A
Lord, show me how to

Say no to this
Aaug
I don't know how to

Say no to this
   F#m/A
But my God, she looks so helpless
    A7
And her body's saying, "hell, yes"


A
Whoa...


Nooo, show me how to

Say no to this



Aaug
I don't know how to




Say no to this


F#m/A
In my mind, I'm tryin' to go



Go! Go! Go!



      A7                        
Then her mouth is on mine, and I 
  D
don't say…


A
No! No!

Say no to this!
Aaug
No! No!

Say no to this!
F#m/A
No! No!

Say no to this!
A7
No! No!

Say no to this!


A
I wish I could say that was the last
 time
Aaug
I said that last time. It became a 
pastime
F#m/A
A month into this endeavor I 
received a letter
A7
From a Mr. James Reynolds, even 
better, it said:


A5*
Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds 
you in good health

And in a prosperous enough position 
to put wealth

In the pockets of people like me: 
down on their luck

You see, that was my wife who you 
decided to


Fuuuu-


Uh-oh! You made the wrong sucker a 
cuckold

So time to pay the piper for the 
pants you unbuckled

And hey, you can keep seein' my 
whore wife

If the price is right: if not I'm 
telling your wife


  F#m
I hid the letter and I raced to her 
place
Screamed "How could you?!" in her 
 D7
face

She said:

No, sir!

      F#m
Half dressed, apologetic. A mess, 
she looked
              D7
Pathetic, she cried:

Please don't go, sir!

       F#m
So was your whole story a setup?


I don't know about any letter!

      E/F#
Stop crying Goddamnit, get up!

   E
I didn't know any better


       D
I am ruined...


Please don't leave me with him     /
 I am
  E  D
helpless                           /
 helpless, how could I do

Just give him what he wants        /
 this?
              E   D
and you can have me
                                   /
 I don't want you
Whatever you want,                 /
 I don't want you


        Bbm
If you pay                         /
 I don't...
         Bb   B
You can stay

B
Lord, show me how to               /
 [ENSEMBLE]

Say no to this                     /
 Say no to this!
Baug
I don't know how to

Say no to this
Abm/B
But the situation's helpless       /
 Helpless
B7
And her body's screaming

Hell yes                           /
 Whoa!
B
No, show me how to

Say no to this                     /
 Say no to this!
Baug
How can I

Say no to this?                    /
 Say no to this!
Abm/B
There is nowhere I

can go                             /
 Go go go
B7
When her body's on
           E
mine I do not say...

B
No!
                  / Yes!
Say no to this!
Baug
No!
                  / Yes!
Say no to this!
Abm/B
No!

Say no to this!
B7
No!
                  / Yes!
Say no to this!

B


Say no to this
Baug
I don't say no to this       / Don't
 say no to this
Abm/B
There is nowhere I can go


Go go go

B7


So?


Nobody needs to know
