Capo 2
GYou got a lAmotta nerve
To sCay you are my frGiend
WhDen I was down
YoCu just stood there grDinning
GYou got a lAmotta nerve
To sCay you got a helping hand to lGend
YoDu just want to be Con
The side that's wDinning
GYou say I lAmet you down
You knCow it's not like thGat
If yoDu're so hurt
WhCy then don't you shDow it
GYou say you lAmost your faith
But thCat's not where it's Gat
You hDave no faith to lCose
And you knDow it
GI know the rAmeason
That you tCalk behind my bGack
I Dused to be amCong the crowd
You're Din with
GDo you take me for sAmuch a fool
To thCink I'd make contGact
With the Done who tries to hide
WhCat he don't know to begDin with
GYou see me Amon the street
You Calways act surprGised
You sDay, "How are you?" "Good lCuck"
But you don't mDean it
When you knGow as well as mAme
You'd rather sCee me paralGyzed
WhDy don't you just cCome out once
And scrDeam it
G Am C G
G Am C D
No, GI do not fAmeel that good
When I sCee the heartbreaks you embrGace
If DI was a master thCief
Perhaps I'd rDob them
And nGow I know you're dissAmatisfied
With your posCition and your plGace
DDon't you understCand
It's not my prDoblem
GI wish that for jAmust one time
You could stCand inside my shGoes
And jDust for that one mComent
I could Dbe you
GI wish that for jAmust one time
You could stCand inside my shGoes
YDou'd know what a trCagedy 
It is to sDee you

Capo 2

G Am

You got a lotta nerve

C G

To say you are my friend

When I was down

C D

You just stood there grinning

G Am

You got a lotta nerve

C G

To say you got a helping hand to lend

D C

You just want to be on

The side that's winning

G Am

You say I let you down

C G

You know it's not like that

If you're so hurt

C D

Why then don't you show it

G Am

You say you lost your faith

C G

But that's not where it's at

D C

You have no faith to lose

And you know it

G Am

I know the reason

C G

That you talk behind my back

D C

I used to be among the crowd

You're in with

G Am

Do you take me for such a fool

C G

To think I'd make contact

With the one who tries to hide

C D

What he don't know to begin with

G Am

You see me on the street

C G

You always act surprised

D C

You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"

But you don't mean it

G Am

When you know as well as me

C G

You'd rather see me paralyzed

D C

Why don't you just come out once

And scream it

G Am C G

G Am C D

G Am

No, I do not feel that good

C G

When I see the heartbreaks you embrace

D C

If I was a master thief

Perhaps I'd rob them

G Am

And now I know you're dissatisfied

C G

With your position and your place

D C

Don't you understand

It's not my problem

G Am

I wish that for just one time

C G

You could stand inside my shoes

D C

And just for that one moment

I could be you

G Am

I wish that for just one time

C G

You could stand inside my shoes

D C

You'd know what a tragedy

It is to see you

G Am C G

G Am C D
