[Intro]
Am D C D (x4)
Am D You want to know why I hate you? C D Well I'll try and explain... Am D You remember that day in Paris C D When we wandered through the rain Am D And promised to each other C D That we'd always think the same Am D C And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one Am D And stopped just as the sun set C D And waited for the night Am D Outside a glittering building C D Of glittering glass and burning light...
And in the road before us stood a weary greyish man
Who held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags and thinner than air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you
Bm Am The father's eyes said beautiful Bm Am How beautiful you are Bm Am The boy's eyes said how beautiful Bm She shimmers like a star Am Em The child's eyes uttered nothing F But mute and utter joy Am Em And filled my heart with shame for us F For the way we are Am Em F (The way we are)
D Am D Am D Am F F
Am D I turned to look at you C D To read my thoughts upon your face Am D And gazed so deep into your eyes C D So beautiful and strange Am D C D Until you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream Am D -I hate these people staring C D Make them go away from me-
The father's eyes said beautiful
How beautiful you are
The boy's eyes said how beautiful
She shimmers like a star
The child's eyes uttered nothing
But pride and utter joy
And stilled my heart with sadness
For the way we are
D Am And this is why I hate you D Am And how I understand D Am F That no one ever knows or loves another Am Or loves another
