 C    Am   Em  Fmaj7  C        
Your poor witness,  crying so 
Am            Em    Fmaj7
loudly on the floor
                 C                 
Oh, well, she's only trying to tell
             Am            Em Fmaj7
 you what it was that she saw
        C                       
She is only trying to tell you,  
          Am           Em    F?7
what it was that she saw

              F              C    
Now see her standing on the table,
             F          C
  with her small arms flailing
          F           C           
And you feel such compassion in 
    G
your soul
Continues after the ad
      C  Am     Em    Fmaj7
For your  mute witness,  still 
     C             Am            
testing the strength of our 
Em     Fmaj7
patience

                C                  
Oh, well she's only trying to tell 
              Am           Em    
you  what it was that she saw

        C                          
She is only trying to tell you  
     Am           Em    Fmaj7
what it was that she saw

              F               C   
Now see her pointing to the 
            F          C
frisbee,  with a memory so fuzzy
         F        C               
And her silent,  words describing 
      G
the fright of last night
     F                  C         
4am Northside, Clapham Common,  
             F              C
oh, God, what was she doing there?
           F                C     
Will she sketch the answer later? 
              G
 Well, I will ask her

               Fmaj7      C       
"Now dry your tears, my dear"
F  C  F  C  G

             F               C    
Now see her mime in time so 
             F                 C
nicely,  it would all have been so 
clear,
    F            C          G    
If only she had never 
                 Fmaj7    C    F 
volunteered,  your taxi is here, 
C F C  G
my dear
