I'm not the one A D A A to tenderly bring her soft sympathy. I've just begun E E A A to see me way clear and its plain if I stop I should fall. E E A A I can lay down a tear for her pain, just a tear and that's all. [Pre-Chorus] D A D What does she want me to do? She says that she knows E A A these moments are rare, I suppose that it's true. D E A A Then on she goes to say I don't care, ah, she knows that I do. [Chorus] E E A A Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song E E A(back to intro) And who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong? Repeat and enjoy. ************************************ | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | (n) Ghost note | / Slide up ************************************
