Intro:  C

C
I could spend ages reading the news

I could spend days, singing the blues
G
But I turn up the tv light
Am
Give up without a fight
F                                                      G  Gsus4  G
Better than pretending to know what's wrong and what's right

C
I could spend ages asking myself why

There's a million ways that I could say goodbye
G
But I turn down the lights
Am
Come on baby come inside
F                             G  Gsus4  G
Better then being some fool's bride
F                                                      G  Gsus4  G
Better than pretending to know what's wrong and what's right
