Em              Eb          C#
   Seems like forever and a day
Em        Eb             C#
   If my intentions are misunderstood
Em        Eb        C#
Please be kind, I've done all I should
   Am
I won't ask of you
     B
What I would not do
    C#  B                  Am
Oh, I     saw the damage in you
   G                          F#
My fortunate one, the envy of youth
 
B5               C#5         D5
   Why would they tell me to please those
      A5       Ab5     A5 D5
That laugh in my face
B5                 C#5            D5
   When all of the reasons they've taught us
      A5                     Ab5    A5 D5
Fall over themselves to give way
 
Em            Eb                 C#
   It's not a question whether my heart is true
Em    Eb       C#
Streamlined, I had to pull through
Am
Look for a new
   B
Beginning on you
   C#  B                   Am
Oh I     got a message for you
C#          B                     Am
Up and away,    It's what I gotta do
   G                                       F#
Forgive what you have, for what you might lose
 
 
B5                C#5      D5
   What would you say if I told you 
     A5    Ab5     A5  D5
that I'm to blame
B5                    C#5      D5
   And what would you do if I had 
    A5      Ab5     A5  D5
to deny your name
B5                C#5      D5
   Where would you go if I told you
    A5                    Ab5    A5 D5
I love you, and then walked away
B5                C#5          D5
   N' who should I turn to if not
         A5                     Ab5
for the ones that you could not save
 
 
    A5         B5 G5
I told you when I found you
               F#5
If there were doubts, 
           G5 E5          D5  C#5
you should be careful and unafraid
 
A5         B5 G5
   Now, they surround you
             F#5
And all that amounts to
               G5  E5      D5  C#5
Is love that you fed by perversion and pain
 
B B     B   Em   Em
B B     B   D    D   Em
 
Em             Eb           C#
   So if my affections are misunderstood
     Em    Eb      C#
And you decide I'm up to no good
Am
Don't ask me to
  B
Enjoy them just for you
 
C#5          Eb5 E5
    Ask yourself 
B5               Bb5
   why I would choose
          B5    C#5  D5
To prostitute myself
A5                          Ab5
   To live with fortune and shame, oh yeah
B5                     C#5             D5
   when you should have turned to the hearts
       A5                       Ab5
Of the ones that you would not save
 
    A5         B5 G5
I told you when I found you
               F#5
And all that amounts to
               G5  E5           D5  C#5
Is love that you fed by perversion and pain
