6. 7. 1 5. 1 1 5. 6. 7.
be suc-Bb-cessful or be C us
1 2 2 3 3 4 5
With our Bb winning smiles, and C us.

F Oh I'll settle C down with some old Dm story.
5 3 4 5 4 3 2 1 2 3
About a Am boy who's just like Bb me
1 2 3 2 1 3 7. 1
Thought there was F love in every-Bb-thing and
6. 7. 1 5. 1 1 5. 6. 7.
every-C-one. You're so na-F-ive!
1 2 2 3 3 4 5
They always C reach a sorry Dm ending.
3 4 5 4 3 2 1 2 3
They always Am get it in the Bb end
1 2 3 2 1 3 7. 1
Still it was F worth it as I G turn the
6. 7. 1 5. 1 1 5. 6. 7.
pages Bb solemnly, and C then
1 2 2 3 3 4 5
With a Bb winning smile the C boy. With na-Bb-ivety suc-C-ceeds
At the Bb final moment, Dm I cried. I Am always cry at Bb endings F

has C set my mind to F wander.
1 2 2 3 3 4 5
Into the C windows of my Dm lovers.

They never Am know unless I Bb write
1 2 3 2 1 3 7. 1
"This is no F declaration, G I just thought
6. 7. 1 5. 1 1 5. 6. 7.
I'd Bb let you know good-C-bye"
1 2 2 3 4 5
Said the Bb hero in the C story. "It is Bb mightier than C swords
I could Bb kill you sure but Dm I could only Am make you cry with Bb these words"
F Cry with Bb these words F Cry with Bb these words F Cry with Bb these words F
Bb Ooh! F Get me away I'm Bb dying F Get me away I'm Bb dying
