1.      What’s the matter with the     way we look,     surely it’s not the end,

Am                          D                - Em

    I only meant to make my mo..........tions clear.

Am                                      - D               - Em

    You worry too much if it’s   understood,  should we be seen as friends?

Am                                         D                   C      - D

    Seems like a real good beginning right here.

and you can twist and turn,        but you won’t get loose,        oh no.

 

    Am                                  D            - Em

2.       Better forget getting rid of me,         I don’t see how you can,

Am                                      - D                          - Em

    you put me off and I will        hunt you down,         again.

Am                                       - D                    - Em

    I’m mighty patient when I       have to be,        you have given me that,

Am                                      - D                          C   - D

    still I look forward to the        day you let me in.
