D              A                  G 
Something is wrong, but he won't say 
               A                    D 
The way he's acting should give it away 
             A                  G 
Stayin' out late not sayin' a word 
                A 
Silence says everything 
     G                   A 
The sign posts they are red 
            G             A 
There's a rough road up ahead 
                G 
Well, I could spell it out in black and white 
 
It's no use 'cause you won't try 
    A 
To see what's going on around you 
 

D                      A 
Girl if you don't know by now 
  G                  A 
Guess I'll have to spell it out 
    D                 A            
He may not say what's on his mind 
G                A                D 
'Gotta learn to read between the lines  
 

 D              A                   G 
You played the fool, you played it well 
           A 
But it's time you should be changin' 
D                       A                G 
With your head in the sand it's hard to tell 
                  A 
Just what he's trying to do 
 G                       A 
Half truths and all his lies 
          G           A 
And them half-baked alibis 
            G                                  A 
Well now, you've been holdin' on too hard for too long 
 
(chorus twice)
