Bbm7

Verse 1
Bbm7 
Ab 
The decep- tion with tact,
Bbm7 
just   what are you trying to say?
Ab 
You've got a blank face, which irritates
Bbm7 
Communicate, pull out your party piece
Ab 
You see dimensions in two
Bbm7 
State  your case with black or white
Ab 
But when one little cross leads to  shots,
grit your teeth
Bbm7 
You run for cover
so discreet, why don't they

Chorus 1

Bbm7

Do what they say,

Ab/Bb

Bbm7

say what you mean, and baby

One thing leads to another

You told me something wrong,

Ab/Bb

I know I listen too long but then

Bbm7

One thing leads to another

Verse 2
Bbm7 
Ab 
The impression that you sell
Bbm7 
Passes in and out like a scent
Ab 
But the long face that you see
Bbm7 
comes from living close to your fears
If this is up then I'm up
Ab 
but you're running out of sight
Bbm7 
You've seen your name on the walls
And when one little bump
Ab 
leads to  shock miss a beat
Bbm7 
You run for cover
and there's heat, why don't they

Chorus 2
Bbm7 
Do what they say,
Ab/Bb 
say      what they mean,
Bbm7 
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong,
Ab/Bb 
I know I listen too long     but then
Bbm7 
One thing leads to another

Verse 3
Bbm7 
Ab 
Then it's easy to believe
Bbm7 
Somebody's been lying to me
But when the wrong word
Ab 
goes in the right ear
Bbm7 
I      know why you've been lying to me
It's getting rough, off the cuff
Ab 
I've got to  say enough's enough
Bbm7 
Bigger the harder he falls
But when the wrong antidote
Ab 
is like a   bulge on the throat
Bbm7 
You run for cover
and the heat, why don't they

Chorus 3
Bbm7 
Ab/Bb 
Do what they say, say      what they mean,
Bbm7 
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong,
Ab/Bb 
I know I listen too long     but then
Bbm7 
One thing leads to another

Chorus 4

Yeah, yeah
