F#           G#m
  You got a lotta nerve
    B               F#
To say you are my friend
  F#        C#
When I was down
 B        D#m          C#     C#
You just stood there grinning

F#           G#m
  You got a lotta nerve
            B                    F#
To say you gota helping hand to lend
 F#       C#        B
You just want to be on
     D#m         C#     C#
The side that's winning

F#           G#m
  You say I let you down
      B                  F#
You know it's not like that
    F#        C#
If you're so hurt
  B       D#m        C#     C#
Why then don't you show it

F#             G#m
  You say you lost your faith
      B                   F#
But that's not where it's at
     F#     C#       B
You had no faith to lose
D#m         C#     C#
  And you know it

F#            G#m
  I know the reason
          B              F#
That you talk behind my back
  F#       C#  B         D#m
I used to be among the crowd
       C#     C#
You're in with

F#                    G#m
  Do you take me for such a fool
B                   F#
 To think I'd make contact
         F#             C#
With the one who tries to hide
      B         D#m      C#     C#
What he don't know to begin with

F#           G#m
  You see me on the street
B                    F#
 You always act surprised
     F#            C#           B
You say, "How are you?", "Good luck"
     D#m       C#     C#
But you don't mean it

      F#                 G#m
When you know as well as me
              B          F#
You'd rather see me paralyzed
  F#       C#       B       D#m
Why don't you just come out once
     C#      C#
And scream it

F#              G#m
  No, I do not feel that good
        B                          F#
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
   F#       C#      B
If I was a master thief
    D#m      C#      C#
Perhaps I'd rob them

     F#                   G#m
And now I know you're dissatisfied
             B                F#
With your position and your place
 F#       C#     B
Don't you understand
      D#m     C#     C#
It's not my problem

F#                 G#m
  I wish that for just one time
     B                      F#
You could stand inside my shoes
     F#        C#      B
And just for that one moment
D#m      C#     C#
I could be you

 F#                   G#m
Yes, I wish that for just one time
     B                      F#
You could stand inside my shoes
 F#          C#     B     D#m
You'd know what a drag it is
    C#     C#
To see you

F#    G#m
B     F#
F# C# B D#m C# C#
