1.

D - A / Bm G

I don't want to change your mind - I don't want to think about your mind

they say love is blind - I don't think you're blind

You don't want to understand and I don't want to shake your father's hand

and walk in the sand and act like a man

I get on the bus and ride past our stop - and though I'm late I can't get off

I just can't bear to tell you some lies

|: D A :|

and narrow your eyes

narrow your eyes

2.

We'll take back everything we said - split up all the things and move ahead

forget how you said to split your side off the bed

I get on my bike and ride down our block

ride through the world thru the green lights

but when I think of all your advice

I narrow my eyes

narrow my eyes

Instrumental:

E - - -

Em A D -

(Repeat verse 1)

Now let's toast the sad cold fact our love's never coming back

and we'll race to the bottom of a glass

|: D A :|

So narrow your eyes

-E.M.
