Intro:
F C Dm C (x2)
verse 1
F C
Let me tell you about a girl I know
Dm C
Well she's got palomino strides
F C
And when her breakdown in Geneva came
Dm C
I was there right by her side
F C
And I told her as she got older
Dm C
She wouldn't fall so hard
F C
But she said that she'd keep walking
Dm G
Cause you know she knows her style
[Refrão]F C
And look at me
F C
So blind I thought I could see
F C
She don't want to read no history book
Dm Am
She don't want to prove no eventuality
Dm G
No no eventuality
verse 2
F C
And when she takes me to the gallery
Dm C
And we stand in the hand of art
F C
And all I saw was death on those walls
Dm C
I want to tear those paintings apart
F C
And it's colder as you grow older
Dm C
You can't close your eyes
F C
But she tells me that you got to do something
Dm G
And I'm looking for a good disguise
[Refrão]F C
And look at me
F C
So blind I thought I could see
F C
She don't want to read no history book
Dm Am
She don't want to prove no eventuality
Dm G
No no eventuality
Interlude
F C Dm C x2
verse 3
F C
And maybe later when the seasons change
Dm C
And the dice are all rolled out
F C
They will say we were gamblers then
Dm C
We were young cause we had no doubts
F C
And the ending when love's just lending
Dm C
Can't even break her smile
F C
But like she said you really gotta do something
Dm G
If only waiting on a brand new style
[Refrão]F C
And look at me
F C
So blind I thought I could see
F C
She don't want to read no history book
Dm Am
She don't want to prove no eventuality
Dm G
No no eventuality
