E             A           
  Say, teacher man, I think you lied, 
E                  A 
  'Cause you said that love would surely die, 
E        A 
  I misread the fine print on your sleeve, 
E                A 
  As you tried to hand this down to me. 

E               A 
  It's too late  for you to say to me, 
E             A 
  the reasons,  I found within, 
E             A 
  As I taste the freedom in your sweet, 
E          A 
  Love-rich remedy. 

     F#m 
As I fall back down again, 
                 E   A   E   A 
I hold my head high. 
      F#m 
And I turn back round to you, 
                E    A   E   A  E   A   E    A  
And wave my goodbye. 

E                  A 
  The same mystic eyes that left me blind, 
E                  A 
  The same tune that I will hum alone, 
     E            A                E    A 
I know, That it seems I'm sorry. 

E                  A 
  So with the underlining rule of love, 
E                   A 
  I slipped through when I should've been awake, 
E             A                 E      A 
  And I missed the summer with you. 

      F#m 
As I fall back down again, 
                E     A     E    A 
I hold my head high, 
       F#m 
And I turn back round to you, 
                C#m    A 
And wave my goodbye, 

         E            B 
And I'll never want again, 
        C#m          A 
But I guarantee a steady hand, 
           E          B 
There's no sense in regret, 
       F#m  E       C#m        B 
And I know    it's only second-best, 
       A 
But I guarantee a steady hand, 

When we play Russian Roulette.
