[Intro]
|  G|  D   C|  G|  D   C|  G|  D   C| |
GWe all take a drAmink from the cup,  Cthen she politely knocks it oGver
I said I think that IAm've had enough and she says,  Cno no this is not oGver
BDecause there is no iCnnocence or beauty in D  
                                            C    G|  D   C|  G|  D   C|  G|
What I have seen in your face so,  let's pretend
GI got up to take a wAmalk across the floor,  Cbut my feet they wouldn’t hoGld me
She said you never should’ve cAmome into this bar 
And I said nCo I should never have cGome in
BDut I had been sCold down the river too,  Dsomebody sCold me,  
                      G|  D   C|  G|  D   C|  G|
It could have been you
SGo every day tAmime slips away,  Cthere is nothing to contGain it,  
These eyes of mAmine don't see the sense of trCying to contrGol it
BDecause every time you stCand up,  you're bound to faDll 
                              C    G|  D   C|  G|  D   C| 
And sometimes we only just pretend
HAmave you ever seen the blEmind man as he stumbles and fCalls 
AmI am just like that bEmlind man, my Ghands are tied, I can't see anymDore
GWe all take a drAmink from the cup,  Cthen she politely knocks it oGver
I said I think that IAm've had enough and she says Cno no this is not oGver
BDecause there is no iCnnocence or beauty in,  Dwhat I have sCeen in your face so
