[Verse 1]

B      F#m     E
Don't come close
F#m           D                  E
I don't want you to see my face, my face
B        F#m         E
You go away; I work so hard
F#m             D            E
I don't have time to start all over
B   F#m     E
I'd like to be


[Bridge 1]
A
Leave you without feeling bad
B
And leave you with the knowledge that


[Chorus]
Em          G           Bm
Most, most people would release you
Em          G                   D
Most, most people don't change; they only get old
Em  G            Bm      Em
So, if I let you back in close
G        D
Will you hurt me?


[Verse 2]
B      F#m     E
In all your life
F#m           D                  E
You'll never live down what you can't forget, so forget it
B      F#m     E
Flicking away them gnats and flies
F#m           D          E
Bringing disease to the surface
F#m  D         E       A
Our child must be sharper than your average man
B
Tell me, honey, what's the plan?


[Chorus]

Em          G           Bm
Most, most people would release you
Em          G                   D
Most, most people don't change; they only get old
Em  G            Bm      Em
So, if I let you back in close
G        D
Will you hurt me?


[Bridge 2]
A          C           G
Don't come close, she said
A          C        Em
I'd never stoop so low


[Verse 3]
Em          G           Bm
I'm gonna need some telling me you want me
Em          G                   D
I can't hear you so take some time to think about it
Em          G           Bm
Most, most, people would release you

(I'm gonna need some telling me you want me)
Em          G                   D
Most, most people don't change; they only get old

(I can't hear you so take some time to think about it)
Em          G           Bm
So, if i let you back in close

(I'm gonna need some telling me you want me)
Em    G       D
Will you hurt me?
