Intro:  G | D C | G | D C | G | D C | | 

G               Am                C                             G 
We all take a drink from the cup,  then she politely knocks it over 
                     Am                            C                  G 
I said I think that I've had enough and she says,  no no this is not over 
 D                   C                     D  
Because there is no innocence or beauty in  
             C                               G  | D C | G | D C | G | 
What I have seen in your face so,  let's pretend 

G                   Am                   C                             G 
I got up to take a walk across the floor,  but my feet they wouldnâ't hold me 
                              Am                 
She said you never shouldâ've come into this bar  
            C                      G 
And I said no I should never have come in 
 D              C                      D           C         
But I had been sold down the river too,  somebody sold me,   
                    G  | D C | G | D C | G | 
It could have been you 

 G            Am              C                        G         
So every day time slips away,  there is nothing to contain it,   
               Am                           C            G 
These eyes of mine don't see the sense of trying to control it 
 D                       C                          D   
Because every time you stand up,  you're bound to fall  
                 C             G  | D C | G | D C |  
And sometimes we only just pretend 
 Am                      Em                          C      
Have you ever seen the blind man as he stumbles and falls  
Am                   Em           G                               D 
I am just like that blind man, my hands are tied, I can't see anymore 

G               Am                C                             G 
We all take a drink from the cup,  then she politely knocks it over 
                     Am                          C                  G 
I said I think that I've had enough and she says no no this is not over 
 D                   C                     D              C                      
Because there is no innocence or beauty in,  what I have seen in your face so 
          G  | D C | G | D C | G | 
Let's pretend
