that's the question that I always fear Dm A E A The first seven is never clear but I'll tell you what you wanna hear Amaj7 A7 D I'll try to give you all you want but givin' love is not my strongest point Dm A E A If that's the case it's pointless goin' on I'd rather be alone Amaj7 A7 D 'Cause what I'm doin must be wrong pourin' my heart out in a song Dm A E A Owning up for prosperity for the whole damn world to see Amaj7 A7 D Quietly now while I turn a page Act 20's over without costume change Dm A The principal would like to leave the stage E A The crowd don't understand Note: compied
