[Em] [C] [G]
[D] [Em] [C] [G]
[E] [C] Pass the sprinklers [G] in the newly [D] painted [Em] porches
And the lemonade [Cm] stand girls [G] on a suburban [D] afternoon
[E] I am leaving [C] cause I love you
[G] I am leaving [D] cause I don't
[E] And I am hoping [C] you will follow
[G] And I am praying [D] that you won't [Em] let me go
[C] I [G]
[E] am captive [C] in your presence
[G] I will melt [D] before your [Em] eyes
But I still [C] crave your approval
[G] And I am helpless [D] when you [A] criticize
[G] [C]
Criticize
[G] Cause it's written on your [Em] face
On the tip of your tongue
[A] Look in your eyes
[C] In the glare of the sun
[G] Such a yokel [Em] lingers
When you [A] say goodbye
[C] The way that you linger
[G]
The way [D] that you [Em] lie
[C] [G]
You [D] [Em] [C] [G]
[E] saw [C] me through the keyhole
[G] Of a door that [D] I kept locked
[Em] But I [C] decorate the threshold
[G] All just in [D] case you [Bm] knock
[Em] But I might [C] feel on the edges
[G] You will never [D] come to know
[Em] Who I might [C] be in the corners
[G] I will never [D] ever ever [A] ever show [G] Never [C] show
[G] Cause it's written on my [Em] face
On the tip of my tongue
[A] Look in my eyes
[C] In the glare of the [G] sun
Such a yokel [Em] lingers
When I [A] say goodbye
[C] The way that I linger
[D]
The way that [Em] [C] I
[G]
Who [D] [Em] [C] [G]
[D] [E] said [G]
[B] that love [E] would last
When we cannot seize the [G] moment
And we will not [B] leave the [E] past
[Em] I don't think I was afraid of you
But how can I be [E] sure
When with [B] every altercation
[G] You assure me the door
[A] Well here I go
[C] Here I go
[A] Here I go
[G]
[C] [G] Cause it's written on my [Em] face
On the tip of my tongue
[A] Look in our eyes
[G] In [C] the glare of the sun
[G] Such a yokel [A] lingers
When I say goodbye
[G] [C] The way that we linger
[G] The way that we lie
[C] The touch of your fingers
And [D] the look in your eyes
And [C] the way we accuse
[Em] Cause the [D] way that [G] I
[C] [G] [Em] [C] [G]
[D]
