Tuning: Standard
The entire song consistently uses the progression: D A C#m F#m
(If you'd like, you can throw in an E between the F#m and D)
[Verse 1]
D A
Don't say yes if you can't say no,
C#m F#m E
Victim of the system, say it isn't so
D A
Squatted on the doorstep, swollen on the blow
C#m F#m E
Leaving without you, can't say no
Halfway starts with happiness for me
Halfway house, lost kitten in the street
Hit me where it hurts, I'm coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk, high-heeled shoes
No more hard-headed Saturdays,
They got it, they want it, they give it away
Tell me one thing you would never do
I was looking for a hooker when I found you
[Pre-Chorus]
You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine, ah, but you've got my eyes
[Chorus]
When you lie, I'll cover it up
When you hide, I'll cover it up
When you cry, I'll cover it up
When you come undone, I'll cover it up
[Verse 2]
So pent up, I was coming home to you
Happy in the nighttime, howlin' at the moon
Sippin' on a cocktail, drinking in the loo
There's something about you I hold on to
[Pre-Chorus]
You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine, ah, but you've got my eyes
[Chorus 2]
When you lie, I'll cover it up
When you hide, I'll cover it up
When you cry, I'll cover it up
When you're blind, I'll cover it up
[Chorus 1]
When you lie, I'll cover it up,
When you hide, I'll cover it up
When you cry, I'll cover it up
When you come undone, I'll cover it up
[Bridge]
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
[Chorus 3]
They got it, they want it, they give it away
(When you lie, I'll cover it up)
They got it, they want it, they give it away
(When you hide, I'll cover it up)
They got it, they want it, they give it away
(When you cry, I'll cover it up)
They got it, they want it, they give it away
(When you come undone, I'll cover it up)
