The song is played with a piano, so don't expect much, and try to play with

the chords to make it sound right..

or

which sounds better than playing just plain chords.

Intro: Play the above twice -.-

1st Part:

I opened my eyes

While you 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

2nd Part: (Mess with the chords

I bet you could never tell

That I knew you didn't know me that well

G (Struck Once)

It is my fault you see

F (Struck Once)

You never learned that much from me

Chorus:

Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine

You were always good for rhyme

And from the first to the last time

The sign says stop

But we went on whole hearted it ended bad

Am G (quick transition) C

But I love what we started it says stop

But we went on whole hearted it ended bad

Am G (quick transition)

But I love what we started

1st Part:

I took off my glasses

While you were yelling at me once more than once

So as 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

2nd Part:

I bet your fortress face

Belied your fort of lace

G (Struck Once)

It is by the grace of me

F (Struck Once)

You never learned what I could see

Chorus:

Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine

You were always good for rhyme

And from the first to all the lasts times

All the signs said stop

But we went on whole hearted it ended bad

Am G (quick transition) C

But I love what we started it says stop

But we went on whole hearted it ended bad

Am G (quick transition)

But I love what we started
