D                     A
Don't say yes if you can't say no,
C#                    F#m           E
Victim of the system, say it isn't so
D                           A
Squatted on the doorstep, swollen on the blow
C#                   F#m       E
Leaving without you, can't say no

Halfway starts with happiness for me
Halfway house, lost kitten in the street
Hit me where it hurts, I'm coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk, high-heeled shoes

No more hot-headed Saturdays
They got it, they want it, they give it away
Tell me one thing you would never do
I was looking for a hooker when I found you

D               A
You've got my eyes,
C#         F#m E
You've got my eyes
D                A
You'll never be mine,
C#                     F#m E
Ah, but you've got my eyes

Chorus:
          D         A
When you lie, I'll cover it up
          C#         F#m     E
When you hide, I'll cover it up
           D        A
When you cry, I'll cover it up
         C#                F#m      E
When you come undone, I'll cover it up

So pent up, I was coming home to you
Happy in the night time, howlin' at the moon
Sippin' on a cocktail, drinking in the loo
There's something about you I hold on to

You've got my eyes,
you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine,
ah, but you've got my eyes

When you lie, I cover it up
When you hide, I cover it up
When you cry, I cover it up
When you're blind, I cover it up

Chorus

      D                          A
They got it, they want it, they give it away
      C#                         F#m      E
They got it, they want it, they give it away
      D                          A
They got it, they want it, they give it away
      C#                         F#m      E
They got it, they want it, they give it away

Chorus
