Verse 1
-----------

G6sus4 G G6sus4 G
You're going to give yourself away one of these nights

G6sus4 G G6sus4 G
Your gaze of compassion just a little too right

G6sus4 G G6sus4 G
Your hug of encouragement a little too tight

Dm Am Bm F#
And then he'll know; it's the little things betray

G6sus4 G G6sus4 G
You're going to give yourself away to some Casanova

G6sus4 G G6sus4 G
On the spills and stains of the backstage sofa

G6sus4 G G6sus4 G
He'll catch you yawning with one leg over

Dm Am Bb Gm
And there's the sin; must be the enemy within

Chorus
--------

Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2
And that's the way that it shows

Bm Bmadd4 Bm Bmadd4
That's the way that it shows

Gm7 Gm6 Gm7 Gm6
That's the way that it shows

E(B9) E E(b9) E
The way that it shows

Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2
That's the way that it shows

Bm Bmadd4 Bm Bmadd4
That's the way that it shows

Gm7 Gm6 Gm7 Gm6
A slip of the tongue, a squeeze of the hand

E Asus4 A7
That's the way that it shows

Verse 2
--------

There's glycerine in the tears; rouge in the blush
Your artful stammer a little too rushed
All passion to the eye, all cold to the touch
And then he'll guess; your mind has drifted in the kiss

There's a chink in your armour, a crack in your defences
Your iron will gives way to your senses
Your whispered sweet nothings all sound like expenses
And that's enough; he won't believe your words of love

Chorus
--------

And that's the way that it shows; that's the way that it shows
Yes, that's the way that it shows; the way that it shows
That's the way that it shows; that's the way that it shows
A slip of the tongue, a squeeze of the hand
E(B9) E E(b9) E
That's the way that it shows

... then carry on with chorus chords over solo & fade

Cheers,
Magnus
