	G                 C                 G
	Why does she sing her sad songs for me I'm not the one
	                 C             G
	To tenderly bring her soft sympathy I've just begun
	   D                                                G
	To see my way clear and it's plain if I stop I will fall
	      D                                                   G
	I can lay down a tear for her pain just a tear and that's all
	C                        G
	What does she want me to do?
	C                           D                  C                 G
	She says that she knows the moments are rare I suppose that it's true
	C                   D                        C              G
	Then on she goes to say I don't care how she knows...but I do
	D                     C                        G
	Maybe she just has to sing For The Sake Of The Song.
	 D                    C                       G
	Who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong?


	She'd like to think I was cruel but she knows that's a lie for I would be
	No more than a tool if I allowed her to cry all over me
	All my sorrow is real even tho I can't change my plans
	If she could see how I feel then I know that she'd understand
	Aw does she actually think I'm to blame?
	Does she really believe that some word of mine could relieve all her pain?
	Can't she see that she grieves
	  just because she's been blindly deceived by her shame?
	Aw but maybe she just has to sing For The Sake Of The Song.
	And who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong?

	Aw but nothin's what it seems, maybe she'll start some day to realize
	If she abandons her dreams then all the words she can say are only lies
	Aw when will she see that the game is only to loose
	All that she offers me are her chains and I've got to refuse
	Aw but its only to herself that she's lied
	She likes to pretend there's something that she should defend with her pride
	And I don't intend to stand here and be the friend from whom she must hide
	Maybe she just has to sing For The Sake Of The Song.
	And who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong?

A                           D                    A
Why does she sing sad songs for me, I'm not the one
              D              A
to tenderly bring her soft sympathy I've just begun
    E                                                A
to see my way clear and it's plain, if I stop I will fall
        E                                                  A
I can lay down a tear for her pain, just a tear and that's all.

D                         A
What does she want me to do?
D                             E
she says that she knows that moments are rare
  D                  A
I suppose that it's true
D      E                        D          A
and on she goes to say I don't care, when I do.

chorus:
E                                               A
Maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song
E                                                 A
and who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong.

She'd like to think that I'm cruel,
but she knows that's a lie for I would be
no more than a tool
if I allowed her to cry all over me.

Oh my sorrow is real even though I can't change my plan
If she could see how I feel then I know that she'd understand

Oh does she actually think I'm to blame?
Does she really believe that some word of mine can relieve all her pain?
Can't she see that she grieves because she's been blindly deceived
by her shame?

chorus

Nothin's what it seems, maybe she'll start someday to realize
If she abandons her dreams, all the words she can say are only lies
when will she see that to gain is only to lose?
All that she offers me areher chains, I got to refuse.

Oh but it's only to herself that she's lied
she likes to pretend it's something that she must defend, with her pride
and I don't intend to stand her and be the friend from whom she must hide.

chorus 1 1/2 times and out
