 Dm           A#
Sitting in an armchair
         F               C
With my head between my hands
 Dm              A#
Wouldn't have to be like this
         F           C
If you'd only understand

Too many misunderstandings
Causing such delay
And if it doesn't work like this
Well, I'll try another way

Chorus:
Dm A#    F                  C
Oh-oh, this is the way you wanted it
Dm A#     F            C
Oh-oh, I didn't understand
Oh-oh, this is the way you wanted it
Oh-oh, I didn't understand

You know that all I wanted
Was to be there by your side
And if you didn't want it
Well, you should have denied

You knew that you were someone special
Right form the start
But if you treat me badly
We'd be better off apart

Chorus:
Oh-oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh-oh, I didn't understand
Oh-oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh-oh, I didn't understand
Understand
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
