G5                      F#5  B5
He saw no tears in her eyes 
E5
Say you wouldn't kid about it 
G5                          F#5  
She's telling all of those lies 
    B5                        E5
She swore she'd never told before, but I doubt it 
   C5 
So he bit his tongue 
    B5                        A5
And tried hard to capture his breath 
                              C5
When she said I waited all my life 
               C5
For just a little death 

Chorus:
D5                G5            F#5
Say you wouldn't kid about it 
B5                E5
Say you wouldn't kid about it 
A5                G5            F#5
Say you wouldn't kid about it 
B5                E5           Eb5 (XX1323)
Say you wouldn't kid about it
C5                          E5
Sometimes he takes himself so seriously 
C5                          E5
She makes her movements mysteriously 
             F5         D5   Eb5
Slow fast or    furiously
C5
It's a big responsibility 
       E5
With a face full of mixed ability 
C5
Big dreams of elegance 
E5           F5          C5
Singing "The Leaving of Liverpool"
    D5                        D5 (XX1232)
And turning into Americans 
D5                G5
Say you wouldn't kid about it
G5                          F#5    B5
So what if this is a man's world 
  E5
I want to be a kid again about it 
G5                  F#5
Give me back my sadness 
  B5                E5
I couldn't hide it even if I tried girl 
C5
We fight so frail 
B5                    A5
Making love tooth and nail 
                           C5
You gave me the kiss of my life 
                                    D5
I might even live to tell the tale 
**Chorus
