Verse 1:

(Ab/Bb) Eb Ab/Bb
So you think the girl is crazy
Eb Gm7-5/Db C7 Fm
She eat up your lies like it's good
C7
(Your lies like apple pie)
Fm C7 Fm
(She don't even cry)

Db
She is not a fool
Bb Eb
She's just tryin' to do what her heart says to
To love you

Ab Eb/G
And as you take to the wind
(to the wind again she breaks down)
Ab Db9
And as she breaks down within (within, within)

Pre-chorus:

Eb/Bb
She waits for you patiently
Ab/Bb
Hopin' that someday you'll see
Eb/Bb
[2: That] all she really wants to be
Ab/Bb Gm Ab
Is yours and yours alone, eternally

Chorus:

(Ab) Gm Fm Eb
What do you want the girl to do
Ab Gm Fm Eb
[1: Don't you know] you're breakin' the child in two
[2: Can't you see]
Ab Gm Fm Eb
What do you want the girl to do
Ab [N.C.] G Cm G7/B Cm Ab/Bb
All she really wants is you

Verse 2:

She knows what you are
Still she'll be your queen if you let her
(Just say the word today)
(Build the world around her)

Now and then you'll promise
All the way-out things you're goin' to get her
(You will see, you will see)
'Cause maybe she knows better
(You're so damn glad you found her, found her, years ago)

As she watched you come and go (all you'll show)
And as she watched your promises erode

[repeat pre-chorus]

[repeat chorus]

Ab Gm Fm Eb
Don't you know you're breakin' the child in two
Ab Gm Fm Eb
What do you want the girl to do
Ab Gm Fm Eb
Can't you see you're breakin' the child in two [fade]
