[Intro]
F Am Bb G7
F Am
Please don't go crazy if I tell you the truth
Bb G7
You don't know what happened and you never will if
F Am
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
Bb G7
This blanket is freezing it's been out in the hall
F Am
Where you've had me for hours until I'm sure what I want
Bb G7
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
F
So sweetheart tell me what's up
Bb F
I won't stop no way
F Am
Please keep your hands down and stop raising your voice
Bb G7
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
F Am
It's a simple suggestion can you give me some time
Bb G7
So just say yes or no why can't you shoulder the blame
F Am
Cause both my shoulders are heavy from the weight of us both
Bb G7
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
F Bb
You've not heard a single word I have said
F
Oh my God
F Am Bb G x3
F Bb F
F Am
Please take it easy it can't all be my fault
Bb G7
I haven't made half the mistakes that you've listed so far
F Am
Baby let me explain something it's all down to drugs
Bb G7
At least I remember taking them and not a lot else
F Am
It seems I've stepped over lines you've drawn again and again
Bb G
but if the ecstasy's in the wit is definitely out
F Bb
Dr Jekyll is wrestling Hyde
F
From my pride
