Intro: D E A | G G# A 
 
A  
I can't have this conversation 
                                    B     
Without lots of reservations on the line 
             E 
If there's a way to slip around it 
                                        A 
Then I'm bound to get around it one more time 
 
Honey you are so persuasive 
                                      B 
But it makes me more evasive when you pry 
        E                
You can label me elusive 
B       E                             A 
But the facts are inconclusive at this time 
 

       G   G#    A                  B 
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind 
         D             E               A 
I've got roses growing over what you'd find 
    G    G# A                B 
But keep on asking if you're inclined 
       D         E                   A 
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind 
 
Solo: G G# | A B E B E A 
 
I don't mean to drive you crazy 
Comin' off all vague and hazy just because 
I don't have an answer for you 
I just wouldn't want to bore you if it does 
 
(Chorus) 
 
But keep on asking if you're inclined 
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind 
Because you can't handle what's on my mind
