All alone by the table of food

in my wrinkled suit and my borrowed tie

Get my plate and I'm scanning the room

 I get the nod, the tiny smile that doesn't come with teeth

Staying in-side lying in bed

         Am                   Em
Noticing something that's not there

Follow my heart, follow my head

and search my head for an opening line

But I see by the look on her face

     D       G               D
if I keep my mouth shut I'll save some time

 Isn't it better not to know?
