[Verse 1]
            E                           Esus4  E
There's somebody that I want you to know
        B                          B6
She's a sweet, sweet friend of mine
       C#m                      B
If she has a fault, she will go overboard
               E                             A
When there's a man around, she flirts like a child
         E                           Esus4  E  Esus4
Darling, take a hint once and for all
B                   B6
 Stay away from them
            C#m                         B
'Cause everything you say just seems to them so strange
                E                           A
They cross the street whenever they see you come
         E                          B
When the cynics stare back from the wall
               A
It's no fun at all


[Verse 2]
       E                                 Esus4  E
Honey, even when you feel flat and broken
           B                    B6
You got to trust to a happy mind
                   C#m                       B
You could put your faith in me if you've got eyes to see
            E                               A
And you got arms that wait for something to hold
         E                          B
When the cynics stare back from the wall
                A
It always feels cold


[Chorus]
       C
When I saw you in the café today
                Em
Explain it all away to me
            Am
Everyone we know, every girl and boy
              G
Each one is a misery
            Dm
So look me straight in the eye
            F
And tell me you're alright
                          C
'Cause I want to know the truth
                  G
Nothing else will do
                  Am    E    Am    E
Nothing else will do


[Verse 3]
       E                                 Esus4  E
If you keep making the same mistakes over
              B
You're like a puppy with a broken leg
               C#m                   B
Hey, and if it goes okay, you've got me to blame
             E                      A
For being so cynical, and never the boy
            E                               B
You used to laugh at till you cried on your bed
                  F#
At all the stupid things I said
                  A
At all the stupid things I said


[Chorus]
       C
When I saw you in the café today
                Em
Explain it all away to me
            Am
Everyone we know, every girl and boy
              G
Each one is a misery
            Dm
So look me straight in the eye
            F
And tell me you're alright
                          C
'Cause I want to know the truth
                  G    E
Nothing else will do


[Verse 4]
         E                              Esus4  E
When the cynics stare back from the wall
B
 I know it's time to change
      C#m                B
I was so confused by the promises
        E                   A
And the hardest thing is to walk
            G#
Towards the things you need
         C#m        A
When the things you want
         E              A
Are like vision for the blind


[Verse 5]
      E                                       Esus4  E
And I know you don't believe in a single thing
         B
That you can't touch, smell, or feel
                 C#m                        B
Hey, it's been a week of woe, which way you gonna go?
            E                     A
When your desire has but all run aground
                E                          B
'Cause when the cynics stare back from the wall


[Outro]
                 A              E
You'd better not fall, la-la-la-la-la-la
                 F#m            E
You'd better not fall, la-la-la-la-la-la
                 A              E
You'd better not fall, la-la-la-la-la-la
                 F#m            F#m    E
You'd better not fall
