  			Hey, so the difference between the Version that is already posted is the 
different Bb that is played with a Barre. I think this one fits better. But  
try it yourself.

Intro 

||:Dm   |F   |Bb   |F   :|| 


Verse 1 

Dm                       F 
I know she said, it's al - right, 

Bb                        F 
  You can make it up next time. 

Dm                       F 
I know she knows it's not right, 

Bb                      F 
  There ain't no use in lying. 


Verse 2 

Dm                     F 
Maybe she thinks I know something, 
  
           Bb                      F 
Maybe, may-be she thinks it's fine. 

Dm                        F   
Maybe she knows something   I don't, 

        Bb 
I'm so, I'm so tired, 

C 
 I'm so tired of trying. 


Chorus: 

F                        C 
 It seems to me that may - be, 

Dm                        A 
 It pretty much always means no, 

     Bb              C                    F  C 
So don't tell me you might just let it go. 

F                         C 
 And often times we're la - zy, 

Dm                     A 
 It seems to stand in my way 

     Bb               C                         F C 
'Cos no-one, no not no-one likes to be let down.

Dm                   F 
I know she loves the sunrise, 

Bb                           F 
  No longer sees it wiht her sleeping eyes, 

   Dm                                F 
And  I know that when she said she's gonna try, 

                  Bb                  F 
Well, it might be not work because of other ties. 

   Dm                            F 
And  I know she usually has some other ties, 

   Bb 
And  I wouldn't wanna break 'em, nah, 

F 
 I wouldn't wanna break them. 

Dm                    F 
 Maybe she'll help me to untie this but 

Bb                C 
 Until then, well,  I'm gonna have to lie too.
