                G6sus4          G (320003@1) G6sus4      GYou're (320003@1)going to give yourself away one of these nights

     G6sus4      G (320003@1)            G6sus4     GYour (320003@1)gaze of compassion just a little too right

     G6sus4   G (320003@1)           G6sus4     GYour (320003@1)hug of encouragement a little too tight

               Dm (xx0231@1)Am (x02210@1)                     Bm (x24432@1) F#And (244322@1)then he'll know; it's the little things betray

                G6sus4        G (320003@1)     G6sus4    GYou're (320003@1)going to give yourself away to some Casanova

       G6sus4     G (320003@1)           G6sus4    GOn (320003@1)the spills and stains of the backstage sofa

      G6sus4    G (320003@1)          G6sus4  GHe'll (320003@1)catch you yawning with one leg over

                Dm (xx0231@1)Am (x02210@1)               Bb (x1333x@1)GmAnd (355333@1)there's the sin; must be the enemy within


Chorus
--------

           E (022100@1)               Asus4 (x02230@1)A7That's (x02020@1)the way that it shows

Verse 2
--------

There's glycerine in the tears; rouge in the blush
Your artful stammer a little too rushed
All passion to the eye, all cold to the touch
And then he'll guess; your mind has drifted in the kiss

There's a chink in your armour, a crack in your defences
Your iron will gives way to your senses
Your whispered sweet nothings all sound like expenses
And that's enough; he won't believe your words of love

Chorus
--------

And that's the way that it shows; that's the way that it shows
Yes, that's the way that it shows; the way that it shows
That's the way that it shows; that's the way that it shows
A slip of the tongue, a squeeze of the hand
           E(b9)         E (022100@1)   E(b9)  EThat's (022100@1)the way that it shows

... then carry on with chorus chords over solo & fade

Cheers,
Magnus
