How do I know where you came from? You (D major)
could be spies
Telling me that you are (A major) hungry
That could be lies

How do I know who you are? Why do you think I (D major)
should
help you?
Would you help me? (Yes!)
Why on earth should I believe you?
Verse 13
I've no guarantee!

I rather like the way you're talking Astute and sincere
(A major)
Suddenly your tragic story

Seems quite justified
I shall give you what you came for
