* Each chord is one 6/8 measure, except chords joined with hyphens

D          F#m7            G      G
  Hear you coming up the driveway,
D          F#m7        G    G
  I tie a ribbon in my hair  
A   A                  G      G
    Look who's come to see me
E           E            A     A
  Funny you always end up here

         G  A     D       D
But it's still pretending
         G  A  D     D
And it's still wrong
      G     A      D - A  G     G
And I still can't tell my heart
G  A      D         D
Why I'm still alone

Well I guess I'm supposed to lock you out
Well I guess I'm supposed to play it tough
But I see how you look at me
Baby, it always is enough

But it's still pretending
And it's still wrong
And I still can't tell my heart
Why I'm still alone

A                  A
   Barefoot in the kitchen laughing
E                     E
  Till you leave, and I'll be crying
F#m                 F#m
  Inside the door I close behind you
G                   A    A [stop]
  Wishing you would stay

But we're still pretending
And we're still wrong (so wrong)
And I still can't tell my heart
Why I'm still alone
Oh tell me why I'm still alone
Oh oh, why I'm still alone  [end on D.]
