## NOTE:  C/G~ ~  G= walk-down from  C/Gto  Gon the A-string ##
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:   C/G    D   C/G~ ~ G  
I know you've had it C/Ghard
I Dknow, I Gknow
By now we all have C/Gscars
That Dwe could GshowEm  
Have you been C/Gwaiting so longG  
That you made up your mindAm  
To look the other Dway
                       C/G~ ~ G  
Afraid of what you'll find?
CHORUS:
But nobody C/Gknows for certainD  
What nobody Gknows, can't hurt them
So try to hold that Amsmile
Believable deDnial
                C/G~ ~ G  
Look the other way
Everybody C/Ghas
SomeDthing to Glose
Your choices take a C/Gtoll
DYou can't GchooseEm  
Your true C/Gcolours showingG  
You have crossed a lineAm  
Your silver tongue is C/Gtin
I can't listen to you Dspin
                        C/G~ ~ G  
To help you ease your mind
CHORUS:
But nobody C/Gknows for certainD  
What nobody Gknows, can't hurt them
So try to hold that Amsmile
Be over in aDwhile
                C/G~ ~ G  
Look the other way
We have so C/Gmuch in commonD  
So much that Gshould uDnite usEm  
But Devery C/Gtime we look upD  
There's somebody Gnew to diDvide us
SepaC/Grate and conquerD  
All for the Gtouch of DMidasEm  
DAnd it's a C/Glonely rancourD  
Pour on a Gfew to incite us
Still the sun is gonna Amshine
Join the growing Dline
                C/G~ ~ G  
Look the other way
It's really nothing Amnew
Just be glad it wasn't Dyou
                C/G~ ~      G    C/G     D   C/G~ ~ G  
Look the other way
