    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
(your thoughts)
                            A#     

   D

How can she become the psychic that 
she longs to be to understand you
C7M                            Em
How can she become the psychic 
                            A#     
that she longs to be to understand 
   D
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 
How can he become the psychic 
                          A#     
that he longs to be to understand 
   D
you
C7M                           Em 
How can he become the psychic 
                          A#     
that he longs to be to understand 
   D
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                           
Give to him a glimpse of that 
                    C
beneath your skin

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

   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?
