Tina says "Don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb
G D C D C
We've broken down and broken up so much that I am numb
G D C G
Talk about-don't shout about the people we've become"
G C D G
There's a little girl who's crying over here.
Michael says "Don't shout at me like I was born a fool
You speak of love and scream of love now dare to treat me cruel
Nothing's fair in love and war so please let's make some rules"
There's a little boy who's crying over here.
CHORUS:
Em C D
Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried
Em C D
Did you ever need me, I feel like I have died
Em C D
Did you ever want me, I swear that I have tried
G C D
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
G C D
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
G C D C
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
Tina says "The pictures that we took are put away
Inside a box of memories for cold and rainy days
Poems in pencil rhyming with the things you'd never say"
There's a little girl who's crying over here.
Michael's old engagement pictures in a wooden box
His wooden heart is tough as nails and solid as a rock
Keeps himself protected with a combination lock
There's a little boy who's crying over here.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Em D C
Fighting makes me tired (in my eyes)
Em D C
Crying makes me tired (there's a spy)
Em D C
Hurting makes me tired (hold me tight)
Em D C
Lying makes me tired
Tina says "I wish that I had never seen your smile
Your name is written on my soul in alphabetic file
All I've got's my dignity so I will leave in style"
There's a million of us crying over here.
CHORUS
