[Intro] [two acoustic guitars strumming percussively, G major] [bass and drums enter with a steady backbeat] [Verse 1] [male lead vocals] I saw you standing round the corner with a smile on your grimace [male harmony vocals enter as echo] I saw you standing round the corner with a smile on your grimace And I wondered who could make you feel like both of you were one And I wondered who could make you feel like both of you were one We might be headed for a world without water [In harmony] But the well is not yet run dry Oh we can always take the pleasure licking tears from each other's eyes When I find you standing round the corner with a smile on your grimace [Instrumental Break] [acoustic guitar strumming, driving kick and snare] [Verse 2] [male lead vocals] You're looking a little uncomfortable with the bottle that you're guzzling [male harmony vocals] You're looking a little uncomfortable with the bottle that you're guzzling Try blocking out some of the different eyes that supply your heat Try blocking out some of the different eyes that supply your heat It might be harder than it seems to the others [voices in harmony] But you're privy to the two sides Of them that never come together although you try with your family's pride See you're looking a little uncomfortable with the bottle that you're guzzling [Instrumental Break] [syncopated acoustic guitar riffing, bass fills] [Verse 3] [male lead vocals] Try making out the word that displays a bit of what you are [male harmony vocals] Try making out the word that displays a bit of what you are Go on and take it, erase it off your face and make believe that you never heard Go on and take it, erase it off your face and make believe that you never heard The name they call while you're falling out of reach The blame accrued with every part and bar Go on and try making out the word that displays a bit of what you are [Outro] [acoustic guitar strumming fades, final snare hit]
