| G | C#m | Cmaj7/G | G |
G C#m7b5
Isn't it a pity
Cmaj7/G G
Now, isn't it a shame
G Gdim7
How we break each other's hearts
C6/G G
And cause each other pain
G A7
How we take each other's love
C G
Without thinking anymore
G Gdim7
Forgetting to give back
C6/G G
Isn't it a pity
G C#m7b5
Some things take so long
Cmaj7/G G
But how do I explain
G Gdim7
When not too many people
C6/G G
Can see we're all the same
G A7
And because of all their tears
C G
Their eyes can't hope to see
G Gdim7
The beauty that surrounds them
C6/G G
Isn't it a pity
