C A# Dm Am

Dm                                        Gm
 They wanted me here just to show you my face,
Dm                                                    Gm
 But when it comes to the crunch, I just hide in disgrace.
Dm                                             Gm
 Youʼre calling me mad, but I know youʼre the same.
Dm                                         Gm
 Coz you got to be seen to be playing the game,
Am                                   Gm
 Yes, we got to be seen to be playing, the game.

Dm                              Gm            C
 It ainʼt gonna hurt now if you open up your eyes,
Dm                                 Gm            C
 Youʼre making it worse now, everytime you criticise.
Dm                                  Gm             C
 Iʼm under your curse now, but they call it compromise,
    Am                             G         C A# Dm Am
I thought that you were wise but you were otherwise.

Dm                                        Gm
 A specimen like you, I would love to obtain,
Dm                                        Gm
 I asked it tedious guy if heʼd tell me your name.
Dm                                        Gm
 Iʼd love to impress you with a back somersault,
Dm                                        Gm
 I wanna take up your love but itʼs locked in a vault,
Dm                                        Gm
 I wanna take up your love, but itʼs locked in a vault.

Dm                              Gm           C
 It ainʼt gonna hurt now if you open up your eyes,
Dm                              Gm            C
 Youʼre making it worse now, everytime you womanize
Dm                              Gm            C
 Iʼm under your curse now, but they call it compromise,
    Am                             G         C A# Dm Am7
 I thought that you were wise but you were otherwise.

Gm               A#                     Dm
 When I open my mouth, Iʼm so brutally honest,
       C                               Dm
 And I canʼt expect that kind of love from you.
Gm                   A#                         Dm
 When you open your mouth, it is so beautifully polished,
       C                                 Dm
 And I canʼt extract the pain youʼre going through.
       Am                G7                C A# Dm Am
 No, I canʼt explain the pain youʼre going through.

Dm                              Gm           C
 It ainʼt gonna hurt now if you open up your eyes,
Dm                              Gm            C
 Youʼre making it worse now, everytime you womanize
Dm                              Gm            C
 Iʼm under your curse now, but they call it compromise,
Dm                   Gm C
 Iʼm under your curse...

Dm                              Gm           C
 It ainʼt gonna hurt now if you open up your eyes,
Dm                              Gm            C
 Youʼre making it worse now, everytime you womanize
Dm                              Gm            C
 Iʼm under your curse now, but they call it compromise,
    Am                             G      C A# Dm Am7 Dm
 I thought that you were wise but you were otherwise.
