[Intro]
Gm  C7  F  Bbmaj7
Gm  C7  F

[Verse 1]
               F
They've been saying
                Dm
"You‘re sophisticated"
           F
They're complaining
       Dm
Overeducated
        F
You are saying
                     Dm
All the words I'm dreaming
              C/E
Say it after me
             C7/E
Say it after me

[Verse 2]
           F
They will blame us
            Dm
Crucify and shame us
            F
We can‘t help it
          Dm
If we are a problem
       F
We are trying
                  Dm
Hard to get your attention
                      C/E
I'm climbing up your wall

Climbing up your wall

[Chorus]
Gm
Don‘t go there 'cause you'll never return
            C7
I know you think of me when you think of her
             F
But then it don't make sense when you're trying hard
          Bbmaj7
To do the right thing but without recompense
            Gm
And then you did something wrong and you said it was great
             C7
And now you don't know how you could ever complain
              F
Because you're all confused 'cause you want me to
                  Bbmaj7
But then you want me to do the same as you

You were sayin'
                   Dm
All the things I'm dreaming
        F
No more askin'
              Dm
Questions or excuses
              C/E
Information's here
                C7/E
Here and everywhere

[Chorus 2]
Gm
Don‘t go there 'cause you'll never return
            C7
I know you think of me when you think of her
