C     C7M         F            G         C 
   don't talk to me in that familiar way 
         C7M            F    G 
when the keys are in my hand 
C  C7M            F             G           C 
don't say that everything is here to stay 
             C7M          F   G 
and I must try to understand 
      C        Am                     Dm7 
when I'm trying not to look into your eyes 
   G                           C 
trying not to listen to your lies 
       Am                      Dm7 
trying just to keep hold of myself 
             G 
oh but it's hard 
                         C     C7M  F G 
when you leave me on the shelf 
C   C7M     F 
you say  I set a path 
     G 
for you to follow 
C        C7M           F  G 
and I've already given in 
C    C7M    F 
but I only meant for you 
    G 
to taste not swallow 
C     C7M             F           G 
where I end is where you must begin 

C     Am                      Dm7 
  so try not to look into their eyes 
G                           C 
try not to listen to their lies 
     Am                       Dm7 
try just to keep hold of yourself 
                G 
oh I know it's hard 
                              C    C7M F G 
when they leave you on their shelf 
C      C7M 
she's such a sweet girl 
F            G 
free of the taints of this world 
C                   C7M 
think that's a compliment 
       F              G 
don't be so full of sentiment 
C                        Am 
why you worship sweetness 
                               Dm7 
what virtue's there in weakness 
                          G 
being pushed about is nothing much 
                 C     C7M F G 
to shout about I know 
 C     Am                         Dm7 
  So...try  not to look into their eyes...
