No Capo


C                                  Am
Maybe if I told you lies, then you wouldn't break my heart
C                                  Am
Oh yes, you know I've found your reason
C                         Am
Maybe if I criticized and tore myself apart
C                             Am
I'd give you something to believe in
G                        F
And my intention's never good enough for you
G                            F     G
Frustration is your gift to me



C                          Am
Maybe if I synchronized my mind along with yours
C                            Am
You'd find me better to be around
C                                Am
Maybe if I shined your shoes and polished all your floors
C                               Am
I'd know you'd never leave the ground
G                        F
And your reaction never fails to let me down
G                            F   G
Frustration is your gift to me (but)


(Chorus) 
     C                              Am
I'm searching for a way to make my frustration my power
     C                              Am
I'm searching for a way to make it up your iv'ry tower
        G        F
And I know, you won't receive me
        G        F
And I know, you won't believe me
        G        F
And I know, that you don't need me
        G            F              C
But in time, I won't need you to



C                             Am
Maybe if I said the things I know you'd like to hear
C                            Am
You wouldn't be so quick to leave
C                        Am
Maybe if I didn't try so hard to keep you near
C                         Am
You'd have no reason to deceive
G                           F
And your conviction's not enough to weigh you down
G                            F       G
Your power now, is much too strong (but)

(Chorus)2X
