Riff 2 (chorus)
E|-------5------|
B|-3-5-6---6-5-3|

[Verse 1]
Dm
They wanted me here
Bb
Just to show you my face
Dm
But when it comes to the crunch
Bb
I just hide in disgrace
Dm
You're calling me mad
Bb
But i know you're the same
Am
Cause you got to be seen to be playing the game
Gm
Yes we got to be seen to be playing, the game

[Chorus]
Dm
It ain't gonna hurt now
       Gm           C
If you open up your eyes
Dm
You're making it worse now
       Gm           C
Everytime you criticise
Dm
I'm under your curse now
       Gm           C
But I call it compromise
Am
I thought that you were wise
Gm
But you were otherwise

[Verse 2]
Dm
A specimen like you
Bb
I would love to obtain
Dm
I asked a tedious guy if he'll tell me your name
Bb
I'd love to impress you
Dm
With a back somersault
Bb
I want to take out your love
Dm
But it's locked in a vault
Am
I wanna take up your love
Gm
But it's locked in a vault

[Chorus]
Dm
It ain't gonna hurt now
       Gm           C
If you open up your eyes
Dm
You're making it worse now
       Gm           C
Everytime you criticise
Dm
I'm under your curse now
       Gm           C
But I call it compromise
Am
I thought that you were wise
Gm
But you were otherwise

[Verse 3]
Gm
When I open my mouth
               Dm
I'm so brutally honest
      C                                   Dm
And I can't expect that kind of love from you
C
When you open your mouth
                          Dm
your teeth are beautifully polished
C                                        Dm
And I can't extract the pain you're going through
     A
No I can't explain

The pain you're going through

[Chorus]
Dm
It ain't gonna hurt now
       Gm           C
If you open up your eyes
Dm
You're making it worse now
       Gm           C
Everytime you criticise
Dm
I'm under your curse now
       Gm           C
But I call it compromise
Am
I thought that you were wise
Gm
But you were otherwise
