Beating Around the Bush

Intro: E 


E                             D A E 
Smiling face and loving eyes 
                                         D A E 
But you keep on telling me all those lies 
                                D A E 
How do you expect me to believe 
                        D A E 
Honey I ain't that naive 
                       D A E 
Baby I got my eye on you 
                                        D A E 
Cause you do all the things I want you to 
                                   D A E 
Stop your cryin and dry you tears 
                                  D A E 
I ain't that wet behind the ears 



        E                          D 
You can throw me lefts and you can throw me rights 
    A                       E 
But where was you last night beating around the bush 



E                             D A E 
Wish I knew what's on your mind 
                       D A E 
Why you being so unkind 
                                    D A E 
Remember those nights we spent alone 
                       D A E 
Talkin on the telephone 
                                   D A E 
Thoughts of you goin through my brain 
                                  D A E 
You told me that you felt the same 
                           D A E 
You said that you loved me too 
                                D A E 
But tell me who was there with you 


        E                          D 
I was talking birds and you was talking bees 
           A                E 
And was he down on his knees beatin round the bush

E                                       D A E 
You're the meanest woman I've ever known 
                                     D A E 
Sticks and stones won't break my bones 
                              D A E 
I know what you're looking for 
                                       D A E 
You eaten your cake you want some more 
                                          D A E 
I'm gonna give you just a one more chance 
                    D A E 
Try to save our romance 
                          D A E 
Done everything I'm gonna do 
                                D A E 
The rest is up to you 


        E                      D 
You can chew it up and you can spit it out 
A                  E 
Let it all hang out beating around the bush oh
