Intro: 

E    A       E      A E  F#m11 

E   A        B7 E  Esus4 

     E                         A 
Well I got a good friend who's got a good life 
         E                         B              B7 
He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife 
    E                         B     B7 
Yet he never seems quite satisfied 
       E                   A 
Well I said I know what's on your mind 
        E                                B               C#m 
But you better think about it before you cross that line 
                      A              B     E   Esus4 E 
The grass aint always greener on the other side 


A 
Then what, what you gonna do 
         E                      
When the new wears off and the old shines through 
       B 
And it aint really love and it aint really lust 
    E                E7 
You aint anybody anyone's gonna trust 
A 
Then what, where you gonna turn 
         E 
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn 
    B7 
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt 
E           A          E         B7 
Then what  wooo-  ooh  then what 


     E                   A 
Well I aint saying that looking's a crime 
          E                  B 
Well I've done my share from time to time 
    E                                 B    
It dont mean that you gotta take that leap 
E                    A 
When you're standin' on the brink 
 E                        B 
Before you jump you gotta step back and think 
C#m                     A       B        E 
There's price for every promise you dont keep 


A 
oooh, then what, what you gonna do 
         E                      
When the new wears off and the old shines through 
       B 
And it aint really love and it aint really lust 
    E                E7 
You aint anybody anybody's gonna trust 
A 
Then what, where you gonna turn 
         E 
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn 
    B7 
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt 
E           A          E         B 
Then what  wooo-  ooh  then what
