Capo on 2 Esus4 G6 F#m7 Da da da da da da da da da da dah B Badd9 Bsus4 B You can bash your head against a wall for years, F# The wall is not impressed. B Badd9 Bsus4 B Or you can take a giant step away only to discover, F# Your wound's already dressed. E F# B E It's not hard to see a beautiful girl, E F# B E And imagine the life that you could have with her. E But you can't bend time, F# nor bind it up with twine. B You can try, try, E you'll never read her mind. E Which is fine, fine, F# B Badd9 B 'Cause she cannot read yours. B Badd9 Bsus4 B You treat me worse than you treat any stranger. F# For my part, I say thanks. (And you say you’re welcome) B Badd9 Bsus4 B I am like a cobblestone street, And you, F# you're like 50 Sherman tanks. (That’s a lot of Sherman tanks) E F# Roll right over me, B E Reduce me to rubble. E F# I am Monsieur Bovary, B E and you are Madame Trouble. E F# So much that what we so grandly call love, B E is simply in our heads. E How many doors slammed closed, F# And stepped-on toes, B And songs composed, E And poems and prose, E F# G6 About things we've heard in words nobody said.

B Badd9 Bsus4 B But if you start to like the bloody bruises, F# The wall cannot be blamed. E F# I try to make it seem B E like I'm over you. E F# B E The blindest man alive can see: It simply isn't true. E F# Love only lasts as long as it lasts B Goes as far as it goes, E and it goes pretty goddamn fast. E Sometimes love is fun. F# Sometimes burdensome. B Sometimes hard up. E Sometimes hard won. F# G6 But you only miss it if it's gone. Esus4 The show must not, the show must not, G6 F#m7 The show must not go on.
