Tom: G
 
G                      F#m  B
He saw no tears in her eyes 
Em
Say you wouldn't kid about it 
G                          F#m  
She's telling all of those lies 
    B                        Em
She swore she'd never told before, but I doubt it 
   C 
So he bit his tongue 
    Bm                        Am
And tried hard to capture his breath 
                              C
When she said I waited all my life 
               C
For just a little death 

Chorus:
D                G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it 
B                Em
Say you wouldn't kid about it 
A                G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it 
B                Em           Eb7 (XX1323)
Say you wouldn't kid about it
C                          Em
Sometimes he takes himself so seriously 
C                          Em
She makes her movements mysteriously 
             F         Dm   Eb7
Slow fast or    furiously
C
It's a big responsibility 
       Em
With a face full of mixed ability 
C
Big dreams of elegance 
Em           F          C
Singing "The Leaving of Liverpool"
    D                        D9 (XX1232)
And turning into Americans 
D                G
Say you wouldn't kid about it
G                          F#m    B
So what if this is a man's world 
  Em
I want to be a kid again about it 
G                  F#m
Give me back my sadness 
  B                Em
I couldn't hide it even if I tried girl 
C
We fight so frail 
Bm                    Am
Making love tooth and nail 
                           C/D
You gave me the kiss of my life 
                                    D
I might even live to tell the tale 
**Chorus
