CAPO  2 

INTRO:   A- D- A - D-  A -E -A 

VERSE ONE 
A                D                   A 
Why does she sing...her sad songs for me, Im not the one, 
A                 D                A 
To tenderly bring...her soft sympa-thy, Ive just begun, 
   E                                               A 
To see my way clear and its plain if I stop I will fall, 
      E                                                   A   A7 
I can lay down a tear for her pain, just a tear and thats all. 

 D                          A 
...What does she want me to do? 
     D                       E 
She says that she knows that moments are rare, 
      D                A 
And I suppose that its true. 
 D                  E                        D           A 
Then on she goes to say I dont care, but she knows that I do. 

BRIDGE 
 E                                            A 
Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song, 
    E                                           A 
And who do I think that I am to decide that shes wrong ? 


INTRO REPEAT :  A- D- A - D- A -E -A 


VERSE TWO 

Shed like to think I was cruel,..but she knows thats 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 cant change my plans, 
If she could see how I feel then I know that shed understand. 

Oh does she actually think I'm to blame? 
Does she really believe that some word of mine, 
can relieve all her pain? 
Cant she see that she grieves just because shes been blindly deceived by her shame? 

BRIDGE 2 
Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song, 
And who do I think that I am to decide that shes wrong ? 

INSTRUMENTAL: PLAY INTRO 

VERSE THREE 

Ah, but nothings what it seems...maybe shell start someday to realize, 
If she abandons her dreams,...then all the words she can say are only lies, 
Ah, when will she see that to gain is only to lose? 
All that she offers me are her chains, Ive got to refuse. 

Oh but its only to herself that shes lied. 
Shed like to pretend its something that 
she should defend, with her pride, 
I don't intend to stand here and be...the friend from who she must hide. 


BRIDGE 3 
   E                                           A 
Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song, 
    E                                            A 
And who do I think that I am to decide that shes wrong ?
