No Capo C Am Maybe if I told you lies, then you wouldn't break my heart C Am Oh yes, you know I've found your reason C Am Maybe if I criticized and tore myself apart C Am I'd give you something to believe in G F And my intention's never good enough for you G F G Frustration is your gift to me C Am Maybe if I synchronized my mind along with yours C Am You'd find me better to be around C Am Maybe if I shined your shoes and polished all your floors C Am I'd know you'd never leave the ground G F And your reaction never fails to let me down G F G Frustration is your gift to me (but) (Chorus) C Am I'm searching for a way to make my frustration my power C Am I'm searching for a way to make it up your iv'ry tower G F And I know, you won't receive me G F And I know, you won't believe me G F And I know, that you don't need me G F C But in time, I won't need you to C Am Maybe if I said the things I know you'd like to hear C Am You wouldn't be so quick to leave C Am Maybe if I didn't try so hard to keep you near C Am You'd have no reason to deceive G F And your conviction's not enough to weigh you down G F G Your power now, is much too strong (but) (Chorus)2X
