You know we don't stand a chance (we don't stand a chance)
B - F# a few times
: Same pattern as first verse :
Verse 2: Oh I'll settle down with some old story About a boy who's just like me Thought there was love in everything and everyone You're so naive! They always tell a sorry story They always get it in the end Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile the boy With naivety succeeds At the final moment, I cried I always cry at endings
B - F# again a few times
Verse 3: Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all Washing against the lonely tenement Has set my mind to wander Into the windows of my lovers They never know unless I write "This is no declaration, I just I'd let you know goodbye"
Said the hero in the story "It is mightier than swords I could kill you sure But I could only make you cry with these words"
Cry with these words Ooh! Get me away I'm dying
B - F# to end
