Am
She cooks you sweet potato, you don't like aubergine
G
She knows to boil the kettle when you hum bars from Grease
Am
She senses you are lonely but still she can't be sure
G
And so she stands and waits, stands anticipating
C7M Em A# D
(your thoughts)
How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you
C7M Em A# D
How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you
Am
He brushes thoroughly, he know she likes fresh breath
G
He rushes to the station, he waits atop the steps
Am
He's brought with him a Mars bar, she will not buy Nestle
G
And later he'll perform a love lorn serenade, a trade
C7M Em A# D
How can he become the psychic that he longs to be to understand you
C7M Em A# D
How can he become the psychic that he longs to be to understand you
Am
So give her information to help her fill the holes
G
Give an ounce of power so he does not feel controlled
Am
Help her to acknowledge the pain that you are in
G C
Give to him a glimpse of that beneath your skin
F Em D C
And now my inner dialog is heaving with detest
Am Bm C D
I am a martyr and a victim and I need to be caressed
F Em D C
I hate that you negate me, I'm a ghost at beck and call
Am Bm C D
I'm failing and placating, I berate myself for staying
F Em D C Am Bm C7M Em A# D C7M Em A# D
I'm a fool, I'm a fool

Am
He greets the stranger meekly, a thing that she accepts
G
She sees him waiting often with chocolate on the steps
Am
He senses she is lonely, she's glad they finally met
G
They take each other's hands walk into the sunset
C
Do you like sweet potatoes?
