Ah Ah Ah Ah...


Verse 1:
Dm
  There's something 
you should know
That I could never tell
Bb
  You think that I am better 
Dm
  I thought of telling you 
at home or on the phone
Bb
  Or written in a letter


Refrain 1:
         Gm
When the world is asleep
      C
I am still trying 
             Dm
to figure it out
        Gm
And the secrets I'm keeping
    Am                Bb  C A/C#
Are what I am always about


Chorus 1:
Dm
  I know I got off easy
Bb
  God knows why you believe me
Gm            Am
Hiding behind little white lies
Dm
  This time I got off easy
Bb
  When will you ever see?
       Gm
That I got, and I got, and I 
Am
got off, and I got off easy


Interlude:  Dm --


Verse 2:
Dm
  There's something 
you would know
If you could read my mind
Bb
  Or look behind my cover
Dm
  Creeping around at night
                Bb
Is it impossible  to be 
an honest lover?


Refrain 2:
        Gm
So I'll live and I'll die
      C                    Dm
Never be satisfied till tommorow
      Gm
Can I change this? Arrange this 
   Am                      Bb     C A/C#
to keep me from feeling so hollow?


Chorus 2:
Dm
  I know I got off easy
Bb
  God knows why you believe me
Gm            Am
Hiding behind little white lies
Dm
  This time I got off easy
Bb
  When will you ever see?
       Gm
That I got, and I got, and I 
Am                     Dm
got off, and I got off easy
       Gm
That I got, and I got, and I 
Am                     Bb  C
got off, and I got off easy

got off, and I got off easy
