Verse 1
-----------
G6sus4GG6sus4G
You're going to give yourself away one of these nights
G6sus4GG6sus4G
Your gaze of compassion just a little too right
G6sus4GG6sus4G
Your hug of encouragement a little too tight
DmAmBmF#
And then he'll know; it's the little things betray
G6sus4GG6sus4G
You're going to give yourself away to some Casanova
G6sus4GG6sus4G
On the spills and stains of the backstage sofa
G6sus4GG6sus4G
He'll catch you yawning with one leg over
DmAmBbGm
And there's the sin; must be the enemy within
Chorus
--------
DmDsus2
And that's the way that it shows
BmBBmadd4
That's the way that it shows
Gm7Gm6
That's the way that it shows
E(b9) EE(b9)
The way that it shows
DmDsuDsus2
That's the way that it shows
BmBmadd4
That's the way that it shows
Gm7GmGm7Gm6
A slip of the tongue, a squeeze of the hand
EA7us4
That's the way that it shows
Verse 2
--------
There's glycerine in the tears; rouge in the blush
Your artful stammer a little too rushed
All passion to the eye, all cold to the touch
And then he'll guess; your mind has drifted in the kiss
There's a chink in your armour, a crack in your defences
Your iron will gives way to your senses
Your whispered sweet nothings all sound like expenses
And that's enough; he won't believe your words of love
Chorus
--------
And that's the way that it shows; that's the way that it shows
Yes, that's the way that it shows; the way that it shows
That's the way that it shows; that's the way that it shows
A slip of the tongue, a squeeze of the hand
E(b9) EE(b9)
That's the way that it shows
... then carry on with chorus chords over solo & fade
Cheers,
Magnus
