          G#m7                              
You stand by, while he lies - then turn right 'round and forgive 
        E7M                               C#m7 
I can't take to see your face, with those tears run down your cheeks 
               G#m7                                 
But what can I do - I gotta stay true 'cause deep down I'm still a G



            A7M                             G#m7
