You don't know so don't say you do you don't 

You might think that things will change but take my words, they won't
    E5                         C5    E5   C5    
You paint a lovely picture but reality intrudes
       F5   C5       G5
With a message for you 

And it's real bad news

I was undecided like you at first

But I could not stem the tide of overwhelm , at thirst
    E5                         C5       E5  C5    
You try to keep it going but a lot of avenues
            F5  C5    G5
Just aren't open to you

When you're real bad news

      E5                  C5         G5
I got love and anger that come as a pair

You can take your chances but buyer beware
      F5     C5             G5
And I won't make you feel better 
       F5             C5           G5
When I show you this big ball of sad 
       D5         A5           F5
Isn't worth even filling with air

Baby let me tell me tell you you can get some things confused
           F5 C5         G5
Like whose secrets are whose

And that's real bad news
