I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
I can't play with you no more
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me

My friend, the boy next door

I can't believe what people saying
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
You're gonna let your hair hang down
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m
You're in the darker side of town

And when I'm out I see you walking
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
Why don't your eyes see me?
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
Could it be you've found another game to play?
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m
What did mama say to me?

That's the way, Oh, that's the way it ought to be
Bm B E7 F#m
Yeah, yeah, mama say that's the way it ought to stay
E F#m G#m.. B.. G#m F#m E.. F#m.. E..
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes?
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m
Had they got you hypnotized?

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
But all that lives is born to die
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
And so I say to you that nothing really matters
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
And all you do is stand and cry
E F#m G#m.. B.. G#m F#m E.. F#m..
E F#m G#m.. B.. G#m F#m E.. F#m..
E F#m G#m.. B.. G#m F#m E.. F#m..

F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
I don't know what to say about it
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
When all you ears have turned away
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m E
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see
F#m G#m B G#m F#m E F#m
Is that the way it ought to stay?
Bm
That's the way
(Main pattern x1) Bm
