[Intro]
Gm Bbm
Gm Bbm
Gm Bbm F
[Verse]
Bbm
An underhanded girl
Gb
An act of desperation
Ebm F
And to my consternation
Bbm
I let her go...
Bbm
She wants what she can get-
Gb
Is that a fair depiction?
Ebm F
Does she believe her fiction?
Bbm
It's hard to know...
[Chorus]
Bb Ebm Eb
Is it innocence or guile?
Gm Ebm
Or nothing but a childish act of will?
Ebm
She doesn't know she needs you
D
She willfully misleads you
Ebm
But still...
F
Still!
[Bridge]
Ebm
A son becomes a man!
Bbm
At his father's knee
Ebm
If my father asked questions
B F
Well...where would we be?
[Verse]
Bbm
She's nothing but a child.
Gb
A waif who needs protection
Ebm F
I feel a strange connection-
Bbm
I can't allow!
Bbm
She says it's all a game
Gb
She trembles like a flower
Ebm F
But in her, there's a power
Bbm
I see that now!
[Chorus]
Bb Ebm Eb
I am nothing but a man!
Gm Ebm
With nothing but his orders to fulfill!
Ebm
"I'm innocent!" She cries!
D Gm
But then, you see her eyes
Bbm
And something in them tells you
D Gm
That she absolutely lies!
Gm Eb
Until your heart replies....
Dm Gm Eb
"But, still...!"
Gm Eb
Still....
Ebm Eb G
Still!
