Verse
(vary with Cmaj7sus2)(bass --f#) [(no 3rd)]
What you did to me made me see myself something different
Though I try to talk sense to myself but I just won't listen
Bridge
Won't you go away turned yourself in you're no good at confession
Before the image that you burned me in tries to teach you a lesson
What you did to me made me see myself somethin' awful
A voice once stentorian is now again meek and muffled
It took me such a long time to get back up the first time you did it
I spent all I had to get it back, and now it seems I've been outbidded
Chorus
(bass ---, s on -chord)
My peace and quiet was stolen from me
When I was looking with calm affection
[-5/]
You were searching out my imperfections
[AmM7/]
What wasted unconditional love
[-5/]
On somebody who doesn't believe in the stuff
Bridge
You came upon me like a hypnic jerk when I was just about settled
And when it counts you recoil with a cryptic word and leave a love belittled
Chorus
Oh what a cold and common old way to go
I was feeding on the need for you to know me
Devastated at the rate you fell below me
What wasted unconditional love On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff Oh, well
