[Verse 1]
C                    C/G#               F7                  F
  What you did to me made me see myself something different
C                      C/G#                  F7                F
  Though I try to talk sense to myself but I just won't listen
Fm/C#                   C (C7)          Cmaj7         F/A        F
     Won't you go away, turned yourself in, you're no good at confession
Fm/C#                          C         Cmaj7       F/A         F
     Before the image that you burned me in tries to teach you a lesson


[Verse 2]
C                    C/G#               F7              F
  What you did to me made me see myself somethin' awful
C                  C/G#                F7               F
  A voice once stentorian is now again meek and muffled
Fm/C#                       C (C7)      Cmaj7       F/A            F
     It took me such a long time to get back up the first time you did it
Fm/C#                     C (C7)           Cmaj7        F/A          F
     I spent all I had to get it back, and now it seems I've been outbidded


[Chorus]
C    G         Am
  My peace and quiet was stolen from me
Dm7
   When I was looking with calm affection
Ab
  You were searching out my imperfections
Am             Am            F     C
   What wasted unconditional love
Dm7                          Ab
   On somebody who doesn't believe in the stuff

[Bridge]
Fm/C#                        C (or C7) Cmaj7          F/A        F
     You came upon me like a hypnic jerk when I was just about settled
            Fm/C#                    C       Cmaj7            F/A    F
And when it counts you recoil with a cryptic word and leave a love belittled
    C              Em/G  G   Am
Ohhhhh what a cooooooold and common old way to go
Dm7
   I was feeding on the need for you to know me
Ab
  Devastated at the rate you fell below meee
Am             Am            F     C
   What wasted unconditional love
Dm7                          Ab
   On somebody who doesn't believe in the stuff
    C
Oh, well
