      You see but still you're blind

Chorus 1:

      Bb5
      Smiling phases, showing traces
      Eb5
      Even when they bust you
                                    Bb5
      Keep on smiling through and through
                  Eb5           C#5            B5
      You'll be amazed at the gaze on their faces

      As they sentence you

Verse 2:

      You don't need a lawyer
      When you're in a fix
      Someone gets the payoff
      You're friends are full of tricks
      Happiness is something
      That you just can't find
      Own up to the truth girl
      You're living with your mind

Chorus 2:

      Sugar daddy brings you flowers
      You just hang him up and
      Keep him waiting there for hours
      And you should see the look on his face
      As you slide down the rail
