D/F#Em7
He smiles politely back at you
D/F#G
You stare politely right on through
D/F#Em7
Some sort of window to your right
D/F#G
As he goes left and you stay right
D/F#Em7
Between the lines of fear and blame

You begin to wonder why you came

As he begins to raise his voice
Em7D/F#G
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
D/F#
Drive until you lose the road
Em7D/F#
Or break with the ones you've followed

GHe will do one of two things
Em7D/F#
He will admit to everything

Em7D/F#
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
