[Verse]
Dear Henry, you exDpect so much from Gme
I’ve settled on what’s Deasiest it GseemsC  
Staying here at Gyour expenseD  
Doesn’t really Emmake much sense
Oh CHenry, why exDpect so much from Gme
[Verse]
Well Patience, you’ve not Dheard the last from Gme
Not likely, I don’t Dgive in easiGlyC  
If I could GrecognizeD  
What is truth and Emwhat are lies
Oh CPatience, I will Dlearn eventualGly
[Verse]
So judgment, turn that Dblinding light aGway
It’s easy to be Dcritical of GmeC  
I don’t meant to Glaugh at youD  
But I don’t share your Empoint of view
So Cjudgment, shine that Dlight away from GmeEm  
[Bridge]
There’s a A7path that led us Emhere
There’s a A7truth that we still Emshare
In beA7tween the two there Cmust be room to Dreconcile
[Instrumental]

So Henry, don’t exDpect too much from Gme
I’ve settled on what’s Deasiest it Gseems (Oh Patience)C  
Deal with all your Gdemons firstD  
Before you make this Emproblem worse
Yeah CHenry, you exDpect too much from Gme
[Outro]
Oh CPatience, I will Dlearn eventualGly
So Cjudgment, turn that Dlight away from Gme
Oh CHenry
Oh DPatience
