Come on baby, now throw me a right to the chin

Dmaj7                                 Esus4      F#
Don't you stare like you never cared, I know you did

But you just smile

Blankly telling me "Have a nice life."

Just one sign will show me that you give a shit

But you just smile

    A
Politely

    C#m      Esus4    F#
And I grow weaker and I
