    Am
She cooks you sweet potato, you don't like aubergine
    G
She knows to boil the kettle when you hum bars from Grease
    Am
She senses you are lonely but still she can't be sure
    G
And so she stands and waits, stands anticipating

C7M                            Em                            A#        D
(your thoughts)
How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you
C7M                            Em                            A#        D
How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you

   Am
He brushes thoroughly, he know she likes fresh breath
   G
He rushes to the station, he waits atop the steps
     Am
He's brought with him a Mars bar, she will not buy Nestle
    G
And later he'll perform a love lorn serenade, a trade

C7M                           Em                           A#        D
How can he become the psychic that he longs to be to understand you
C7M                           Em                           A#        D
How can he become the psychic that he longs to be to understand you

   Am
So give her information to help her fill the holes
G
Give an ounce of power so he does not feel controlled
Am
Help her to acknowledge the pain that you are in
G                                               C
Give to him a glimpse of that beneath your skin

    F            Em        D              C
And now my inner dialog is heaving with detest
       Am           Bm           C            D
I am a martyr and a victim and I need to be caressed
  F               Em             D                 C
I hate that you negate me, I'm a ghost at beck and call
    Am             Bm          C                D
I'm failing and placating, I berate myself for staying
    F      Em  D  C  Am  Bm  C7M  Em  A#  D  C7M  Em  A#  D
I'm a fool,    I'm a fool

   Am
He greets the stranger meekly, a thing that she accepts
    G
She sees him waiting often with chocolate on the steps
   Am
He senses she is lonely, she's glad they finally met
     G
They take each other's hands walk into the sunset
   C
Do you like sweet potatoes?
