Chords

[Intro] Bm D A [Verse 1]
Bm         D      A       Bm D  A
 Upon the sand, upon the bay

Bm           G          A   Bm
 "There is a quick and easy way" you say

   D   A   Bm
Before you illustrate

D     A       Bm  D A G A
 I'd rather state:
[Pre-chorus]
Bm            D        A     Bm
"I'm not the man you think I am

D A Bm               D    A    Bm D
I'm not the man you think I am"
[Chorus]
A   Bm        G  A  Bm D
And sorrow's native son

 A  Bm             D     A   Bm D
He will not smile for anyone

A    Bm     G     A     Bm   D A
And pretty girls make graves

C#m B A  C#m B G# F# F#
Oh...
[Verse 2]
Bm D A Bm           D   A           Bm  
       End of the pier, end of the bay

D A Bm              G A Bm            D  A
You tug my arm, and say: "Give in to lust,

     Bm       D  A  Bm      
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll

A       D   Bm 
Soon be dust... "
[Pre-chorus]
G A Bm           D        A     Bm
Oh, I'm not the man you think I am

D A Bm                D     A  Bm D
I'm not the man you think I am
[Chorus]
A   Bm        G  A  Bm D
And sorrow's native son

 A  Bm             D     A   Bm D
He will not rise for anyone

A    Bm     G     A     Bm   D A
And pretty girls make graves

C#m B A  C#m B G# F# F#
Oh...
[Verse 3]
Bm D A Bm                         D                A   Bm
     I could have been wild and I could have been free

D A Bm                 G         A Bm
But nature played this trick on me

    D     A  Bm D A Bm
She wants it now

         D   A   Bm
And she will not wait
[Verse 4]
     G    A   Bm
But she's too rough

             D    A  Bm
And I'm too delicate

                D A
Then, on the sand

 Bm         D   A         Bm
Another man, he takes her hand

   D   A       Bm             D
A smile lights up her stupid face

     A        Bm
(and well, it would)
[Chorus]
D A Bm               D        A
I   lost my faith in Womanhood

  Bm               D        A
I lost my faith in Womanhood

  Bm   G    A   Bm D
I lost my faith...

C#m B A  C#m B G# F# F#
Oh...
[Outro]
F#
Hand in glove...

    F#
The sun shines out of our behinds...

F#
Oh...
