[Bm] [F#m]
[E] [F#]
[E] [Em] [E]
[Em] [E]
You want to know how it will [D] be
[E]
Me [Em] and him [E] or you [Em] and me
[E] You [F#m] both stand [C] there, your long hair [F#m] flowing
Eyes alive, [C] your mind still growing
[F#m] Saying to [Em] me, what [A] can [Em] we do now that we [A] both love you
[D] [A] I [D] [A] love you [D] too
[A] I [D]
[A] don't really [D] see, [A] why can't we [B] go [E] honestly
[Em] [E] You [Em] [E]
are afraid, embarrassed too
No one has ever said such a thing to you
Your [F#m] mother's ghost [C] stands at your [G] [F#m] shoulder
Face like ice, [C] a little bit colder
[F#m] Saying [Em] to you, you cannot do that, it breaks [A] the rules
[D] [A] You [D] [A] learned in [D] school
[A] I [D] [A] don't really [D] see, [A] [D] why [A] can't we go [E] honestly
We [Em] [E]
love each [Em] other, [E]
it's plain [Em] to see
[E]
There's just one answer that comes [Em] to [E] me
[F#m] Sister lovers, [C]
water brothers
[F#m] And in [C] time, maybe [F#m] others
So [Em] you see, what we can do is to [Bm] try [A] something new
[D] [A]
If [D] [A] you're crazy [D] too
[A] I [D] [A] don't really see, why can't we go [G] honestly
[A] [A] [Em] [E] [Em]
