Standard (EADGBE)
I carried my heart unbuttoned
Across the lonely stage
Where all the fools and actors
Circled like birds of prey
But careful with the rose, she knows
Every word in every scene
O please be good to me
I let the liar have me
The forger and the cheat
Love is the legal tender
They tried to steal from me
Tell me how you lose
What you wanna give away for free
O please be good to me
(upper notes: , , , )
When love's light is shining elsewhere
The cold is hard to shake
But when it's shining on you
The winter melts away
I don't want to know how so
I just want to feel the heat
O please be good to me
(upper notes: , , , )
O please be good
O please be good
Please be good to me
