The entire song consistently uses the progression: DAC#mF#m (If you'd like, you can throw in an E between the F#m and D)
[Verse 1] DA Don't say yes if you can't say no, C#mF#mE Victim of the system, say it isn't so DA Squatted on the doorstep, swollen on the blow C#mF#mE Leaving without you, can't say no
Halfway starts with happiness for me Halfway house, lost kitten in the street Hit me where it hurts, I'm coming home to lose Kitten on the catwalk, high-heeled shoes
No more hard-headed Saturdays, They got it, they want it, they give it away Tell me one thing you would never do I was looking for a hooker when I found you
[Pre-Chorus] You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes You'll never be mine, ah, but you've got my eyes
[Chorus] When you lie, I'll cover it up When you hide, I'll cover it up When you cry, I'll cover it up When you come undone, I'll cover it up
[Verse 2] So pent up, I was coming home to you Happy in the nighttime, howlin' at the moon Sippin' on a cocktail, drinking in the loo There's something about you I hold on to
[Pre-Chorus] You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes You'll never be mine, ah, but you've got my eyes
[Chorus 2] When you lie, I'll cover it up When you hide, I'll cover it up When you cry, I'll cover it up When you're blind, I'll cover it up
[Chorus 1] When you lie, I'll cover it up, When you hide, I'll cover it up When you cry, I'll cover it up When you come undone, I'll cover it up
[Bridge] They got it, they want it, they give it away They got it, they want it, they give it away They got it, they want it, they give it away They got it, they want it, they give it away
[Chorus 3] They got it, they want it, they give it away (When you lie, I'll cover it up) They got it, they want it, they give it away (When you hide, I'll cover it up) They got it, they want it, they give it away (When you cry, I'll cover it up) They got it, they want it, they give it away (When you come undone, I'll cover it up)
