The Kinks – A Little Bit Of Emotion (Guitar)

G           D
See all the people

     C               D
With hatred in their eyes

G             D
I can't help thinking that

C              D
It's only a disguise

       G               D
Cause underneath that core

               Em
There's got to be more

          C      D
Than what we realize

G             D
Maybe they're scared

           C      D
To let the inside out

G                 D
Maybe they're afraid to

       C               D
Show what they're all about

         G             D                   Em
So they put on a heavy front and hope that no one else

     C         D
Can work them out

        Em     C            D
So they put on all the heaviness

        Em     C           D
But its only illusion heaviness

          C   Em  D
Can't you see

G             D        C      D
Show a little bit of emotion

  G             D      C      D
A little bit of real emotion

        G        B7       Em
In case a little bit of emotion

C           D
Gives them away

G                  D       C             D
Look at that lady dancing around with no clothes

G                       D
She'll give you all her body

C                        D
That's if you've got the dough

G                   D
She'll let you see most

                     Em
Anything but there's one thing

         C         D
That she'll never show

             G             D        C   D
And that's a little bit of real emotion

   G              D      C    D
A little bit of true emotion

       G          B7      Em
In case a little bit of emotion

C          D
Gives her away

           Em          C           D
But it's a shame she's acting that way

              Em        C             D
Somehow she's gotta get through every day

             C   Em  D
And the only way

          G               D        C     D
Is not to show one little bit of emotion

  G             D      C     D
A little bit of true emotion

   G             B7        Em   C          D
In case a little bit of emotion gives her away

C
People learn their lines

Bm
And they act out their part

Am
Then they talk on cue

G
But it's got no heart

C
It's all on the surface

Bm
And it's all contrived

Am
They're scared to come out

C                      D
Somehow they've got to survive

G            D
Look at that looney

        C           D
With a smile on his face

G           D
He knows no shame

    C          D
And feels no disgrace

           G           D
He's got a look in his eyes

              Em                  C     D
That makes it seem that he's from outer space

G          D            C             D
Maybe that looney knows what it's all about

 G                    D          C             D
He's got something to say but he can't spit it out

G             D            Em C         D
He's unco-ordinated     so we shut him out

           G              D          C     D
In case he shows a little bit of emotion

   G            D       C    D
A little bit of real emotion

        G             B7      Em
We're afraid to see a bit of emotion

        C    D
So we walk away

G             D              C   D
Show a little bit of real emotion

G             D           C    D
Show a little bit of emotion

         G            B7       Em
We're afraid to see a bit of emotion

        C       D 
So we walk away
