Verse 1:

(C#m)

Girl, don't you know everytime I see you smiling

Hurts so bad 'cause when I see you I start crying

Try everything to stop but there's no denying

Falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying

D C#

Ahh... don't walk away

D B

How... how can I make you stay

Don't turn away

I can still hear you saying those

Chorus:

E A E

Words that never were true

A E A C#

Spoken to help nobody but you

F# B F#

Words with lies inside

B F# B D#

But small enough to hide 'til your playing was through

[repeat intro riff, 1X]

Verse 2:

Girl don't you know we can work it out with talking

You won't turn around nor slow down your walking

I've given you everything with a kiss to seal it

You have to get your kicks out of tryin' to steal it

Now... I'm standing [2: here]

Strange... strange voices in my ears

I feel the tears

But all I can hear are those

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro riff, 2X]

Instrumental break:

(note descending inner voice in organ chord: C# B A# A G#)

[repeat chorus; fade 3rd time]
