[Intro]
Bm D A
[Verse 1]
Bm D A Bm D A
Upon the sand, upon the bay
Bm G A Bm
"There is a quick and easy way" you say
D A Bm
Before you illustrate
D A Bm D A G A
I'd rather state:
[Pre-chorus]
Bm D A Bm
"I'm not the man you think I am
D A Bm D A Bm D
I'm not the man you think I am"
[Chorus]
A Bm G A Bm D
And sorrow's native son
A Bm D A Bm D
He will not smile for anyone
A Bm G A Bm D A
And pretty girls make graves
C#m B A C#m B G# F# F#
Oh...
[Verse 2]
Bm D A Bm D A Bm
End of the pier, end of the bay
D A Bm G A Bm D A
You tug my arm, and say: "Give in to lust,
Bm D A Bm
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll
A D Bm
Soon be dust... "
[Pre-chorus]
G A Bm D A Bm
Oh, I'm not the man you think I am
D A Bm D A Bm D
I'm not the man you think I am
[Chorus]
A Bm G A Bm D
And sorrow's native son
A Bm D A Bm D
He will not rise for anyone
A Bm G A Bm D A
And pretty girls make graves
C#m B A C#m B G# F# F#
Oh...
[Verse 3]
Bm D A Bm D A Bm
I could have been wild and I could have been free
D A Bm G A Bm
But nature played this trick on me
D A Bm D A Bm
She wants it now
D A Bm
And she will not wait
[Verse 4]
G A Bm
But she's too rough
D A Bm
And I'm too delicate
D A
Then, on the sand
Bm D A Bm
Another man, he takes her hand
D A Bm D
A smile lights up her stupid face
A Bm
(and well, it would)
[Chorus]
D A Bm D A
I lost my faith in Womanhood
Bm D A
I lost my faith in Womanhood
Bm G A Bm D
I lost my faith...
C#m B A C#m B G# F# F#
Oh...
[Outro]
F#
Hand in glove...
F#
The sun shines out of our behinds...
F#
Oh...
F#m Dmaj7 F#m Dmaj7
F#m Dmaj7 F#m Dmaj7
F#m Dmaj7 F#m Dmaj7
