Misc Musicals – Loves Labours Lost - Its Not A Good Idea (Guitar)

B
It's not a good idea

                   G#m  G
to listen to these boys

     B
They swear they are in love,

               G#m                    G
then treat our hearts like little toys

             B              Baug
They send us empty words in rhyme,

            Eadd4
why does it get you every time?

     B
They made a solemn oath

                          G#m
that didn't last a single day

Gaug     B
So, it's not a good idea

            G#m                     Gaug
to put much faith in things they say

          B                    Baug
Cause any love that comes this fast

     Eadd4            G#m
is a folly that won't last

            E             F#
But if they really are in love?

        D#m                G#m
What is love? What does it mean?

             E               F#
He thinks he loves a plastic princess,

      D#m            G#m
not a partner, not a queen

           E               F#
He doesn't notice who he's chasing,

        D#m               G#m
he just likes to make the chase

E                              F#
He makes these grand elaborate gestures,

          D#m            G#m
but won't look me in the face

             E               F#           D#m     G#m
He talks and talks so he can cover up his insecurities

      E              N.C.
He's exactly like my Dad

                  F
He's exactly like me

         E                      B/D#
So, it's not a good idea to think it's real.

               E              F#
The words they use to describe

             B/D#
the way they think they feel

        E                                       Em
They're just in love with saying they're in love

                 B
It's not a good idea

         C
Well, if that's the big idea,

                          Am   Ab
we can beat them at their game

         C
They are coming in disguise,

            Am            Abaug
well ladies we can do the same

        C              Caug
And our lovers will be tasked

              Fadd4            Am
for when they come, we will be masked

            Fmaj7
And if they ask us to dance?

        Fmaj7
We will not move a foot

            Cmaj7/E
And if they say pretty speeches?

        Cmaj7/E
We will just stay put

            Fmaj7
And if they say they're in love?

            Fmaj7
They say an awful lot

    Fmaj7/E            Em7        A7
But words are easy, commitment is not

                            Dm9        Dm9/E  Dm9/F
He has to learn to stop his heart from beating

          Dm9/G             C/E        C/F    C/G
He has to learn to stop his blood from heating

          C/A               Fmaj7     Fmaj7/G  Fmaj7/A
He has to learn to stop his head from cheating

Fmaj7/B     F                       C/E
Cause, it's not a good idea to trust these boys

          F                     C/E
When they treat our hearts like little toys

        F                                       Fm
They're just in love with saying they're in love

         Fmaj7
But, if I believe Armando with all of his flaws?

                 Cmaj7/E
They're dressing up like Germans, they just want our applause

    Fmaj7
But maybe I'm running from my best chance

     Cmaj7/E     Em7      A7
They only want a quick romance

                 Dm               G
We'll show these men that if they want us

           Em              Am
they can't act like little boys

            Dm                G
If he would stop with all the dancing

         Em             Am
And quit making so much noise

         Dm                G
He would dress like he was normal

    E                Am
And admit that I was right

            Dm           G
If he would listen for a minute

      Em               G
Maybe this could end tonight

            F                      C/E
Cause, it's not a good idea to think is real

              F                             C/E
To think it's more than a game the way they say they feel

      C
Cause if they think that love's a game

     C/A
Then mock for mock we'll do the same

     C/F
Just keep your cool and learn to play your part

       F                               Fm6
We are wise girls to mock our lovers so
