Intr.: (Dmaj9 Bm7 G/A) 4x

          Dmaj9
You can't bystand all the people
 Bm7
Stand them on their own
 Dmaj9
They will fall to pieces
Bm7
So we watch them grow
       Cmaj7             Bm7            G
Into strange and pretty faces I don't know
         Cmaj7             Bm7
Clutching to my lipstick traces
           Esus4  E
Watch them go

                       Dmaj9
Make mistake number three
 Bm7     G/A           Dmaj9
 Make mistake number three
Bm7     G/A            Dmaj9
 Make mistake number three
    Bm7           G/A
mistake number three

       Dmaj9
It's strange how much it changes
Bm7
How they want to know
    Dmaj9
How cynical are people
Bm7
That's where children go
        Cmaj7        Bm7
Dragged into a conversation
            G
They can't hold
        Cmaj7          Bm7
It's so sad but it prepares them
         Esus4  E
For the mould.


Chorus


C#m       Bm7      C#m               Bm7
Why is my love    like an ocean run dry?
A             E/G#   F#
And Why is my love     such a struggle with life?
