[Intro]
A B E A E B E
YEou came home this morning weAaring
The clEothes you wore last nAight
DEress all wrinkled hair all out of plBace
You sEay you fell asAleep
At your siEsters watching moAvies
But it's Enot the picture showing on your fBace
[Chorus]
I Ahave every rBight to ask quEestions
BAut you know IE'm not one to cBry
I Edon't wanna lAive with the sEad trAuth
IE'd much rather liBve a lovers lEie
YEour love for Ame
Is nEow a cup half fAull
You fEill the other half at another wBell
And mEy love for yAou
Now is thEunder without rAain
And it's bEeen so long since the last drop fBell
[Chorus]
I Ahave every rBight to ask quEestions
BAut you know IE'm not one to cBry
I Edon't wanna lAive with the sEad trAuth
IE'd much rather liBve a lovers lEie
[Chorus](then repeat the last 2 lines and finish) 
I Ahave every rBight to ask quEestions
BAut you know IE'm not one to cBry
I Edon't wanna lAive with the sEad trAuth
IE'd much rather liBve a lovers lEie
