Intro:  Riff 1  x2


          Riff 1
When you slid into the room
                                Riff 1
Everything else just disappeared
                          Riff 1
Taj Mahal sang "My Corrina"
                     Riff 1
So loud and so sincere
      F#m        A
You were so, so sincere


:Chorus:
E               B
Believe me when I tell you
C#m                     A
That what went down was a one time deal
E                 B                   C#m
Over and over the things that we said were
A              E    B  A  B               E      B   A   B
My Sweet Charade    yeah       My Sweet Charade


              Riff 1
I don't know what your situation is
                              Riff 1
I don't know if you have a guy
                                  Riff 1
But I'm making up for younger days
                               Riff 1
And if I don't talk I just get shy
                      Riff 1                       Riff 1
You were wearing baby blue, a charm school graduate
                        Riff 1                        Riff 1
I was anything but charming, but you still got into it
          F#m               A
There was nothing I could do


:Chorus:
E               B
Believe me when I tell you
C#m                     A
That what went down was a one time deal
E                 B                   C#m
Over and over the things that we said were
A              E    B  A  B               E      B   A   B
My Sweet Charade    yeah       My Sweet Charade


E           A                 E
My desiring eyes, my pathetic resolve
                          A                           E
The way I work through my lies, the way that my world revolves
                                 A
Your black bra, I could see the lace
        E                                  A
I could see the invitation written on your face


:Chorus:
E               B
Believe me when I tell you
C#m                     A
That what went down was a one time deal
E                 B                   C#m
Over and over the things that we said were
A              E    B  A  B               E      B   A   B
My Sweet Charade    yeah       My Sweet Charade


E          A                 E
Maybe it's love, how would I know?
                 A                     E
Every time I get close to it, I let it go
              A                      E
You could be different, you could be kind
               A                           E    B  A  B
But I'll never know cause I will leave you behind
E    B  A  B        E    B   A   B      E
Behind              Behind
