Solo Intro 
 
B9            F# 
 I hate to be,  to be the one  
C#m 
 Who's given up  
     E 
 And feels that all our hope is gone  
B9                 F# 
 But what I thought   was a miracle  
C#m                   E 
 Just turned into the same old  
 
 Problem that it was  
 
E    E/D#             E    E/D# 
 She longs for better days  
C#m    B9           E 
 She's always been afraid  
 
[CHORUS]

        C#m              E 
 It's a shame, oh it's a shame  
      B9                               F# 
 That you are throwing your whole life away  
        C#m              E 
 It's a shame, oh it's a shame  
   B9                             F# 
 I wonder if you're ever going to change  
        E     E ^ F#/E ^ E  
 It's a shame       



B9         F# 
 Ever since  I can recall  
C#m               E 
 She has been so afraid  
  
 Of you losing it all  
B9  
 What do you want  
F# 
 Do you even know  
C#m                  E   
 And is it worth the pain  
 
 We all have to endure  
 
E    E/D#             E    E/D# 
 She longs for better days  
C#m    B9           E 
 She's always been afraid  
 
        C#m              E 
 It's a shame, oh it's a shame  
      B9                               F# 
 That you are throwing your whole life away  
        C#m              E 
 It's a shame, oh it's a shame  
   B9                             F# 
 I wonder if you're ever going to change  
 
     E 
 You left her without leaving  
     B9 
 You hit her without swinging  
     F#                         C#m 
 You took away without giving a thing  
  E 
 Except for pain and sorrow  
     B9 
 I'm praying that tomorrow  
 A                              F# 
 You will open up your eyes and see 
 
 Repeat Chorus 
 
 C#m E B9 F# C#m E B9
