Capo on 2

E5             G5               F#5
Da da da da da da da da da da dah


B5                            B5                     B5        
    B5
You can bash your head against a wall for years,
F#5
The wall is not impressed.
B5                            B5                     B5        
    B5
Or you can take a giant step away only to discover,
F#5
Your wound's already dressed.

E5          F#5               B5                 E5
It's not hard to see a beautiful girl,
E5                      F#5                 B5                        
   E5
And imagine the life that you could have with her.
E5
But you can't bend time,
F#5
nor bind it up with twine.
B5
You can try, try,
E5
you'll never read her mind.
E5
Which is fine, fine,
F#5                     B5          B5      B5
'Cause she cannot read yours.

B5                            B5                     B5        
    B5
You treat me worse than you treat any stranger.
F#5
For my part, I say thanks.
(And you say you?re welcome)


B5              B5              B5            B5
I am like a cobblestone street, And you,
F#5
you're like 50 Sherman tanks.
(That?s a lot of Sherman tanks)


E5                F#5
Roll right over me,
B5                    E5
Reduce me to rubble.
E5                    F#5
I am Monsieur Bovary,
B5                           E5
and you are Madame Trouble.

E5                        F#5
So much that what we so grandly call love,
B5                         E5
is simply in our heads.
E5
How many doors slammed closed,
F#5
And stepped-on toes,
B5
And songs composed,
E5
And poems and prose,
E5                             F#5                    G5
About things we've heard in words nobody said.

E5
The show must not, the show must not,
                        G5             F#5
The show must not go on.

E5
The show must not, the show must not,
                        G5             F#5
The show must not go on.

E5
The show must not, the show must not,
                        G5
The show must not go on.
F#5                    E5
Not go on. Not go on.

E5
Da dah dah dah
G5
dah dah dah dah dah
F#5                   B5
dah dah da

B5                            B5                     B5        
    B5
You can bash your head against a wall forever,
F#5
The wall will never change.
B5            B5                     B5            B5
But if you start to like the bloody bruises,
F#5
The wall cannot be blamed.

E5                  F#5
I try to make it seem
B5                 E5
like I'm over you.

E5                    F#5                 B5                     
    E5
The blindest man alive can see: It simply isn't true.
E5                               F#5
Love only lasts as long as it lasts
                  B5
Goes as far as it goes,
                           E5
and it goes pretty goddamn fast.
E5
Sometimes love is fun.
                   F#5
Sometimes burdensome.
B5
Sometimes hard up.
E5
Sometimes hard won.
                     F#5              G5
But you only miss it if it's gone.


E5
The show must not, the show must not,
                        G5             F#5
The show must not go on.

E5
The show must not, the show must not,
                        G5             F#5
The show must not go on.

E5
The show must not, the show must not,
                        G5
The show must not go on.
F#5                E5
Not go on. Not go on.

E5
Da dah dah dah
G5
dah dah dah dah dah
F#5                    B5
