[Verse 1]
D         Bm
I can't believe you

    Bb                   C             D
You bend your words like Yuri Geller’s spoons,

    F#
Not quite safe here,

     G               F#                G
When every judgement seems to smack of doom.
[Chorus]
        D  A G   D/F#     E7  E7
Are you ok?      I'm just fine,

G        D/F#       G    A       D  A#maj  D  D7
You take Nanci, for me Loretta's fine.
[Verse 2]
D        Bm              Bb
 A legal precedent could set us straight,

    C                   D
But no one's brought up suit,

          F#        G
And I'm assuming if they did,

    F#                   G
The point would still be moot.
[Chorus]
        D  A G       D/F#     E7  E7
Are you joking?   No I'm just fine,

G        D/F#       G    A       D
You take Nanci, for me Loretta's fine,

A/C#     C          B
No, I've changed my mind,

Em        D/F#       G     A       D
I'll take Nanci, for you Loretta's fine.
[Bridge]
C                               G
And still we walk without quite seeing things,

C                               G
And I'll admit there's not that much to see,

Em            B7
I will follow through,

Em              A               D  D+  D6  D7
And expect that you will follow suit.
[Verse 3]
D         Bm
I can't believe you

    Bb                   C             D
You bend your words like Yuri Geller’s spoons,

    F#
Not quite safe here,

     G               F#                G
When every judgement seems to smack of doom.
[Outro]
        D  A G   D/F#     E7  E7
Are you ok?      I'm just fine,

G        D/F#       G    A       D  A#maj  D  D7
You take Nanci, for me Loretta's fine.

A/C#     C          B
No, I've changed my mind,

Em        D/F#       G     A       D   A#maj
I'll take Nanci, for you Loretta's fine,

          Bm  Bmaddb9
Loretta's fine
D A#maj Bm Bmaddb9 Bb Bmaddb9
