[Intro]
Am E Am Gm7 C Fmaj7 E7
I'm told the case is now closed so I can come to my senses
Am E Am E Am Gm7 C
But when the question is posed I'll have this meager defense

I was hoping but you're an amateur
I was hoping that you'd know better
D Bb D E7
But I've been wrong before
[Próxima Parte]
Am E Am Gm7 C Fmaj7 E7
Despite conclusions I drew there was a chance you'd surprise me
Am E Am E Am Gm7 C
And you'd be better than you 'cause I'd have left otherwise

So I wasn't thinking clearly
So you didn't think at all
