Now what can I do?
Forget your offer
I guess it's a game
To break all the rules

See, my wall's going up
Too hard to explain
That you're really a bore
Leave me alone

B (x2444x@1)        F#I (244322@1)politely decline
          Ebm (xx4342@1)        AbmYou (133111@4)every time, it's a clue
                  B (x2444x@1)        AbmIt's (133111@4)not that I'm busy, it's you
             B (x2444x@1)          C#Find (x43121@1)ways to make me turn blue
BOnce (x2444x@1)again, I'll politely decline
Ebm (xx4342@1)    C#When (x43121@1)you call me
        B (x2444x@1)               C#And (x43121@1)may move on with your story
