Intro: Bb5  F5  Bb5 F5 

A5           E5           A5     G5      C5          F5 E5
I'm told the case is now closed so I can come to my senses 
A5           E5          A5  E5 A5  G5         C5           
But when the question is posed I'll have this meager defense 


F5 C5           E5         Bb5
I was hoping that you'd know better than that 

I was hoping but you're an amateur 

I was hoping that you'd know better 
     D5        Bb5      D5   E5
But I've been wrong before 


A5         E5          A5   G5         C5            F5  E5
Despite conclusions I drew there was a chance you'd surprise me 
A5           E5         A5  E5 A5  G5          C5           
And you'd be better than you  'cause I'd have left otherwise 


F5 C5           E5         Bb5
I was hoping that you'd know better than that 

I was hoping but you're an amateur 

I was hoping that you'd know better 
     D5        Bb5      D5    E5 E5
But I've been wrong before 


A5   C5      D5        F5
So I wasn't thinking clearly 

So you didn't think at all 
   Bb5     F5       Bb5    F5 
I thought that was protocol

F5 C5           E5         Bb5
I was hoping that you'd know better than that 

I was hoping but you're an amateur 

I was hoping that you'd know better 
     D5        Bb5      D5    E5
But I've been wrong before 


F5 C5          E5        Bb5
I was hoping that 

I was hoping but you're an amateur 

I was hoping that you'd know better 
     D5        Bb5      D5    C5
But I've been wrong before
