E
I could hang about and burn my fingers
G#                                           A
I’ve been hanging out here waiting for something
         C#m B
to start
A              E
You think I’m faultless to a ‘t’
A          E
My manner set impeccably
A         E                      B
But underneath I am the same as you

E
I could dance all night like I’m a soul boy
G#                                  A
But I know I’d rather drag myself across
               C#m B
the dance floor
A            E
I feel like dancing on my own
A              E
Where no one knows me, and where I
A            E                       B
Can cause offence just by the way I look

A           E
And when I come to blows
A          E
When I am numbering my foes
A               E                     B
Just hope that you are on my side my dear

But it's best to finish as we started
With my face head-down,
just staring at the brown Formica
It's safer not to look around
I can't hide my feelings from you now
There's too much love to go around these days

You say I've got another face
That's not a fault of mine these days
I'm brutal, honest and afraid of you

It's safer not to look around
There's no hiding my feelings from you now
There's too much love to go around these days

You say I've got another face
That's not a fault of mine these days
I'm honest, brutal and afraid of you
