F#m Em

Is it the truth or a misinterpretaion?

D F#m Em

He doesn't care all he cares about is going out tonight

He tucks his shirt in, and does his hair nice

F#m Em

He's got to run to catch the bus and pays full price

D F#m Em

Ten minutes late so he takes a deep breath and then goes inside

Bm F#m

Now he's sitting on the sofa wanting to go over

He hasn't had a shave so he looks a little older

Bm F#m Em

And he knows that if the truth be told he's got no chance

Bm F#m Em

Yeah he's sitting on the sofa wanting to go over he changes onto doubles so he does't

as sober

Bm F#m Em

All the drink oh it's making him think he's got more than a chance

Bm F#m Em

So he stumbles down the hallway

Bm F#m Em

His body's tired but in his mind hes wide awake

Bm F#m Em

He's not thinking about the foreplay

Bm F#m

He's just a little boy who didn't realise

You don't look with your hands you look with your eyes she says

Bm Em Bm Em

Bm F#m Em

All he wanted was affection

Bm F#m Em

It was so rude of her to blatanty reject him in that way

Bm F#m Em

Just a little misunderstanding

Bm F#m

And now it's all too late

The fists fly in with a fury of rage

Bm F#m Em

So he spills out to the garden

Bm F#m Em

The windows steam up with them try to see the action from inside

Bm F#m Em

Oh but please dont wake the neighbours

Bm F#m

He's just a little lad who didn't realise

You dont look with your hands you look with your eyes he says

D Em Bm A

You don't look with your hands you look with your eyes she says

D Em Bm A

You don't look with your hands you look with your eyes she says

D Em Bm A
