E|---------------------------- (<---| riff 8 times throughout the verse)
Were kissing me once, more than once
And you looked as sincere as a dog
Just as sincere as a dog does
When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love

I bet you could never tell...

It's my fault you see you never learned that much from me

Chorus:

C      B7           C            G
Oh you silly stupid past time of mine
C      B7              F          G   (G.Ab.Am)
       you were always good for a rhyme
Am               G            C
    and from the first to the last time
    Dm         C
the signs said stop
           G
but we went on whole hearted
   Am              G
it ended bad but I love what we started
     C
they said stop
           G
but we went on whole hearted
   Am              G
it ended bad but I love what we started

Verse 2 (same riff as the first one)
I took off my glasses while you were yelling at me once,
more than once
So's not to see you see me react
Should've put em, should've put em on again
So I could see you see me sincerely yelling back

Bridge:
I bet your fortress face
Belied your fort of lace

It's by the grace of me you never learned what I could see

Chorus
