Capo IV *
D A D D A D A D
[Verse 1]
D Em
You got a lotta nerve
G D
To say you are my friend
A
When I was down
G Bm A
You just stood there grinning
D Em
You got a lotta nerve
G D
To say you got a helping hand to lend
A G
You just want to be on
Bm A
The side that's winning
[Verse 2]
D Em
You say I let you down
G D
You know it's not like that
A
If you're so hurt
G Bm A
Why then don't you show it?
D Em
You say you lost your faith
G D
But that's not where it's at
A G Bm
You have no faith to lose
A
And you know it
[Verse 3]
D Em
I know the reason
G D
That you talk behind my back
A G Bm
I used to be among the crowd
A
You're in with
D Em
Do you take me for such a fool
G D
To think I'd make contact
A G Bm
With the one who tries to hide
A
What he don't know to begin with?
[Verse 4]
D Em
You see me on the street
G D
You always act surprised
A G
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
Bm A
But you don't mean it
D Em
When you know as well as me
G D
You'd rather see me paralyzed
A G Bm
Why don't you just come out once
A
And scream it?
[Verse 5]
D Em
No, I do not feel that good
G D
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
A G
If I was a master thief
Bm A
Perhaps I'd rob them
D Em
And now I know you're dissatisfied
G D
With your position and your place
A G
Don't you understand
Bm A
It's not my problem
[Verse 6]
D Em
I wish that for just one time
G D
You could stand inside my shoes
A G
And just for that one moment
Bm A
I could be you
D Em
Yes, I wish that for just one time
G D
You could stand inside my shoes
A G Bm
You'd know what a drag it is
A
To see you
