Standard (EADGBE)

 He saw no tears in her eyes

 Say you wouldn't kid about it

 She's telling all of those lies

 She swore she'd never told before

But I doubt it

 So he bit his tongue

 And tried hard to capture his breath

 When she said I waited all my life

For just a little death

 Say you wouldn't kid about it

 Say you wouldn't kid about it

 Say you wouldn't kid about it

 Say you wouldn't kid about it

 Sometimes he takes himself so seriously

 She makes her movements mysteriously

 Slow fast or furiously

 It's a big responsibility

 With a face full of mixed ability

 Big dreams of elegance

 Singing "The Leaving of Liverpool"

 And turning into Americans

 Say you wouldn't kid about it

 So what if this is a man's world

 I want to be a kid again about it

 Give me back my sadness

 I couldn't hide it even if I tried girl

 We fight so frail

 Making love tooth and nail

 You gave me the kiss of my life

 I might even live to tell the tale
