                   Cmaj7  F**                    
Who's that stomping all over my face?            
Cmaj7Where's that silhouette I'm Ftrying to trace?     
Cmaj7Who's putting sponge in the Fbells I once rung    
And Cmaj7taking my gypsy beFfore she's begun           
To Amsinging the meaning of Dmwhat's in my mind      
BeAmfore I can take home what's Dmrightfully mine.   
AmJoinin' and listenin' and Dmtalkin' in rhymes      
AmStoppin' the feeling to Dmwait for the times.    F    G  
FWho's saying baby, that Gdon't mean a thing,      
'Cause Amnowadays CClancy Dmcan't   DmeveEmn    Fsing.

And who's trying to act like he's just in between? 
    Am*                                       Dm  
The night isn't black, if you know that it's green.  
Am*                                            Dm

AmWishin' and a-hopin' he Dmweren't so damned wrong.    F                                                G  
FWho's saying baby, that Gdon't mean a thing,      
'Cause Amnowadays CClancy Dmcan't   DmeveEmn    Fsing.
