--------------------------------

By Declan Patric Aloysius MacManus

A:------1--2-----------0--------4--3--------3--2-|
E:------------------4----------------------------|


E              B                    A               B
He selects the plainest face form a spiteful row of girls
E         B             A                  Ab7
Elegant insulted women, a flaw of cultured pearls
C#m         Abm         Ab            C#m
C#m         Abm         Ab            C#m
 He drops a name or two, she fails to catch
   A                 E
At last he's met his match
                  B                       E
Unspoiled and unaffected, he wants her so much


[intro E]


E                B                  A                       B
She puts up half-hearted resistance, like she was taught to do
E                         B                   A                     Ab7
She's heard some of those small town playboys but this is something new
C#m                Abm        Ab            C#m
 His promise seems dangerous, she'd like to believe
   A                  E
He says "You'd better leave"
                     B                        E
"You've only got yourself to blame, shame, or deceive"


E7                    A
The waiting lines are long
Am                 E
They never get too far
                                 B
Everyone wearing that medal with pride
        E

[intro E]


E               B
I looked on but hesitated
A                 B
 I failed to interrupt
E                 B
You're so hard to tell the truth too
A             Ab7
 So easy to corrupt
C#m       Abm
 I'll memorize your face
Ab           C#m
 Your tragic smile
    A                 E
The hurt look in your eyes
                    B                            E
As you betrayed yourself to the part of him that dies


E7                    A
The waiting lines are long
     Am            E
They never get too far
        E7               A        Am             E
They're shining up their shoes to kick a falling star
    E7                  A
You think you should be somebody
        Am                 E
But you don't know who you are
                                 B
Everyone wearing that medal with pride
        E
