C#m
v v v v

-4-----------7-6-
-----------------

Verse 1:

(C#m)
Girl, don't you know everytime I see you smiling
Hurts so bad 'cause when I see you I start crying
Try everything to stop but there's no denying
Falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying

D C#
Ahh... don't walk away
D B
How... how can I make you stay
Don't turn away
I can still hear you saying those

Chorus:

E A E
Words that never were true
A E A C#
Spoken to help nobody but you
F# B F#
Words with lies inside
B F# B D#
But small enough to hide 'til your playing was through

[repeat intro riff, 1X]

Verse 2:

Girl don't you know we can work it out with talking
You won't turn around nor slow down your walking
I've given you everything with a kiss to seal it
You have to get your kicks out of tryin' to steal it

Now... I'm standing [2: here]
Strange... strange voices in my ears
I feel the tears
But all I can hear are those

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro riff, 2X]

Instrumental break:

Organ solo over intro riff [6X]
(note descending inner voice in organ chord: C# B A# A G#)

[repeat verse 2 from "Now..."]

[repeat chorus; fade 3rd time]


-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
