Verse 1
-----------
You're going to [G6sus4]give yourself aw[G]ay o[G6sus4]ne of these [G]nights
Your [G6sus4]gaze of comp[G]assion just a l[G6sus4]ittle too r[G]ight
Your [G6sus4]hug of en[G]couragement a [G6sus4]little too [G]tight
And then he'll [Dm]know[Am]; it's the little things [Bm]betra[F#]y
You're going to [G6sus4]give yourself [G]away to [G6sus4]some Casan[G]ova
On the [G6sus4]spills and [G]stains of the [G6sus4]backstage [G]sofa
He'll [G6sus4]catch you [G]yawning with [G6sus4]one leg [G]over
And there's the [Dm]sin;[Am] must be the enemy [Bb]with[Gm]in
Chorus
--------
And that's the [Dm]way that it shows[Dsus2] [Dm] [Dsus2]
That's the [Bm]way that it show[Bmadd4]s[Bm] [Bmadd4]
That's the [Gm7]way that it shows[Gm6] [Gm7] [Gm6]
The [E(b9)]way that it [E]shows[E(b9)] [E]
That's the [Dm]way that it sh[Dsus2]ows[Dm] [Dsus2]
That's the [Bm]way that it shows[Bmadd4] [Bm] [Bmadd4]
[Gm7]A slip of the tongue[Gm6], [Gm7] a squeeze of the [Gm6]hand
That's the [E]way that it shows[Asus4] [A7]
Verse 2
--------
There's glycerine in the tears; rouge in the blush
Your artful stammer a little too rushed
All passion to the eye, all cold to the touch
And then he'll guess; your mind has drifted in the kiss
There's a chink in your armour, a crack in your defences
Your iron will gives way to your senses
Your whispered sweet nothings all sound like expenses
And that's enough; he won't believe your words of love
Chorus
--------
And that's the way that it shows; that's the way that it shows
Yes, that's the way that it shows; the way that it shows
That's the way that it shows; that's the way that it shows
A slip of the tongue, a squeeze of the hand
That's the [E(b9)]way that it sh[E]ows[E(b9)] [E]
... then carry on with chorus chords over solo & fade
Cheers,
Magnus
