[Verse 1]
G Why'd you put your dress shoes on if you didn't come to dance? G Frankly, I'd be on my own if I thought I'd stand a chance G Why'd you take your glasses off if you don't intend to fight? G Frankly, I'd be on my own if I thought I'd last the night Am7 G C No screaming or fighting, no scratching or biting G Am7 G C We're just shaking hands goodnight G Am7 G C Sullen and silent, emotionally violent G Am7 G C I waited a while and nothing, nothing
[Chorus]
G C G Why say anything nice C G C G C When you can say nothing at all? G Em7 Am7 Why say anything nice D G C G C When you can say nothing at all?
[Verse 2]
G Why'd you put your backpack on if you won't just take a hike? G Frankly, I'd be out the door if you hadn't sold my bike Am7 G/B C No fencing or sparring, no bruising or scarring G Am7 G/B C G And no au revoiring yet G C G C No communication, just alienation G C I've tried to be patient but nothing, nothing

G C G Why say anything nice C G C G C When you can say nothing at all? G Em7 Am7 Why say anything nice
