Bm          F#m                  D  A
Upon the sand, upon the bay
Bm              F#m                D              A
"There is a quick and easy way" you say
                   Bm
Before you illustrate
F#m         D     A
I'd rather state:
Bm              F#m                  D
"I'm not the man you think I am
A    Bm                     F#m      D A
I'm not the man you think I am"

        Bm         F#m D  A
And Sorrow's native son
      Bm                  F#m    D A
He will not smile for anyone
        Bm      F#m           D A
And Pretty Girls Make Graves
C#m A C#m A C#m Ab
Oh...

Bm           F#m                   D
End of the pier, end of the bay
A     Bm                     F#m     D            A
You tug my arm, and say: "Give in to lust,
        Bm           F#m D
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll
A             D
Soon be dust... "

       Bm               F#m                  D
Oh, I'm not the man you think I am
A     Bm                     F#m     D A
I'm not the man you think I am
       Bm          F#m D  A
And Sorrow's native son
      Bm             F#m   D   A
He will not rise for anyone
        Bm     F#m           D   A
And Pretty Girls Make Graves
C#m A C#m A C#m Ab
Oh...

Bm               F#m                   D
I could have been wild and I could have
          A
Been free
       Bm                         F#m        D
But Nature played this trick on me
A                   Bm
She wants it Now
                           F#m
And she will not wait
                      D
But she's too rough
                      A
And I'm too delicate
Bm                F#m
Then, on the sand
   D                 A                   Bm
Another man, he takes her hand
F#m               D                    A
A smile lights up her stupid face
         Bm      F#m
(and well, it would)
   D                      A   
I lost my faith in Womanhood
   Bm                    F#m
I lost my faith in Womanhood
   D          A
I lost my faith...
C#m A C#m A C#m Ab
Oh...

Hand in glove...
The sun shines out of our behinds...
Oh...
