G            C#m7-5/G
Isn't it a pity
Cmaj7/G           G
Now, isn't it a shame
G                          Gdim7
How we break each other's hearts
C6/G                  G
And cause each other pain
G                         A7
How we take each other's love
C                    G
Without thinking anymore
G                   Gdim7
Forgetting to give back
C6/G        G
Isn't it a pity

Some things take so long,
but how do I explain
When not too many people
can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears
Their eyes can't hope to see
the beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity?

Isn't it a pity?
Isn't it a shame?
How we break each other's
hearts and cause each other pain
How we take each other's
love without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity?

G                  Gdim7
Forgetting to give back
C6/G        G
Isn't it a pity
G                  Gdim7
Forgetting to give back
C6/G             G
Now, isn't it a pity

G                  Gdim7
Forgetting to give back
C6/G             G
Now, isn't it a pity

G Gdim7
Oh what a pity
C6/G          G
What a pity, pity, pity
G Gdim7
Oh what a pity
C6/G          G
What a pity, pity, pity

G               Gdim7
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C6/G                          G
Na, na , na, na - isn't it a pity
G               Gdim7
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C6/G                          G
Na, na , na, na - isn't it a pity
