[F#]
Quite [A] as good [Am] as she is
[E] And she may cry [C#] like a [C#m] baby
[F#m] And she may drive
[F#]
me [Am]

Cause [Em]
[E] I'll

Or even [Em] singing?

Why am I [F#m] clinging?
I [F#] could throw her out
[B] I could live without
And I could do it all for you
I could be true, yeah
[C#m]
Tell me if you want me to lie
[E] This has got to die
[G#m] This has got to stay
[F#] This has got to lie down
I could be true, yeah
But [Am] someone else on top
[A] [C] You could [E] both keep me pinned
Cause [G#m] it's easier to tease
But
