Tom: Cm

Cm                 D
Another night with open eyes, 
     G                  F
Too late to sleep, too soon to rise
        Cm                       D
You're short of breath, is it a heart attack? 
         G            F 
Hot and feverish you face the fact
           Cm           Bb
You're in love, and it feels like shame, 
               G#
Because she's gone 
                           G
and made a fool of you in public again
           Cm           Bb 
You're in love, and it feels like pain, 
             G#
Because you know there's too much truth 
         G
in everything she claims
 
chorus:
   G#       Bb        Cm         D#  
So ask yourself now- Can you forgive her
G#       Bb        G  Bb 
If she wants you to? 
G#       Bb            Cm      D# 
Ask yourself - Can you even deliver
G#          Bb       G
What she demands of you?
 
     Cm              D
You drift into the strangest dreams, 
    G                     F
Of youthful follies and changing teams
   Cm                    D
Admit you're wrong, oh, no, not yet, 
          G                             F
Then you wake up and remember that you can't forget
            Cm               Bb 
She's made you some kind of laughing stock, 
             G#                       G
Because you dance to disco, and you  don't like rock
            Cm              Bb 
She'd make fun of you, and even in bed, 
              G#                         G
Said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead
 
 
Or do you want revenge?
            Cm        G#  Cm  
But that's childish, so childish !
G#                         
That's childish, so childish ! 
 
   Cm                       D
Remember when you were more easily led, 
             G                        F
Behind the cricket pavillion and the bicycle shed
 Cm                 D 
Trembling as your dreams came true, 
     G                           F
You looked right into those blue eyes and knew
        Cm                Bb
It was love, and now you can't pretend, 
           G#                         G
You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend
           Cm               Bb
It's bad enough, she knows how you feel, 
           G#                                 G
But she's not prepared to share you with the memory

G#                            
That's childish, so childish!
