E       A              D      A     Bm
Tell me anything you think I wanna hear
         E                A
Just to keep me standin' here
    D           A/C#   E
To secure your shaky fears
             A
Tell me you love me,
             D          A        Bm
but in your heart you know you don't
        E                      A
So you lie 'cause you think I want
           D        A/C#           E   F#
To make believe you love when you don't

Chorus:
        Bm  G      F#m Bm
Lead me on, lead me on
        Bm  G      F#m Bm
Lead me on, lead me on
                                D
I'll play along and along and along
             A
Baby lead me on
        D
Lead me on

Pretend it's raining when the tears
flow from my eyes
And you're warm when you're cold as ice
And everything's gonna be alright
And it's a shame, little Johnny wears my name
And you know I'm not the one
Still you say he is my son

Chorus

And when I leave to go work for you
You cry you're lonely too
To make me feel your love is true
But in your dreams you slip and tell it all
I hear you calling out his name
You say you love him loud and plain

Chorus
