A A                           D D       
Why does she sing sad songs for me,
A A
I'm not the one
D D
to tenderly bring her soft sympathy
A A
I've just begun
E E
to see my way clear and it's plain,

if I stop I will fall
A A
E E
I can lay down a tear for her pain,

just a tear and that's all.
A A

D D
What does she want me to do?
A A
D D
she says that she knows that moments
E E
are rare
D D A A
I suppose that it's true
D D E E
and on she goes to say I don't care,
D D A A
when I do.

chorus:
E E
Maybe she just has to sing, for the
A A
sake of the song
E E
and who do I think that I am to

decide that she's wrong.
A A

She'd like to think that I'm cruel,
but she knows that's a lie for I
would be
no more than a tool
if I allowed her to cry all over me.

Oh my sorrow is real even though I
can't change my plan
If she could see how I feel then I
know that she'd understand

Oh does she actually think I'm to
blame?
Does she really believe that some
word of mine can relieve all her
pain?
Can't she see that she grieves
because she's been blindly deceived
by her shame?

chorus

Nothin's what it seems, maybe she'll
start someday to realize
If she abandons her dreams, all the
words she can say are only lies
when will she see that to gain is
only to lose?
All that she offers me areher
chains, I got to refuse.

Oh but it's only to herself that
she's lied
she likes to pretend it's something
that she must defend, with her pride
and I don't intend to stand her and
be the friend from whom she must
hide.

chorus 1 1/2 times and out
