Intro: Amaj7/G6
Verse:
Amaj9 Cmaj7
Say it isn't so painful to tell me that you're dissatisfied.
Amaj9 Cmaj7
Last time I asked you I really got a lame excuse. I know
that you lied.
Dmaj7 Bm
Now wicked things can happen...you see 'em goin' down in
war.
Em7 A7sus A9
But when you play in a quiet way that bites it even more.
Amaj9 Cmaj7
Tell me what you want yeah I'll do it baby I promise right now.
Amaj7 Cmaj7
Who propped you up when you were stopped low motivation had you on the ground.
Dmaj7 Bm
I know your first reaction you slide away hide away goodbye.
Em A7sus
But if there's a doubt maybe I can give out a thousand
A9 DM
reasons why you have to say it isn't so...
Chorus:
Bm Em7b5 A7
(it isn't so). Say it isn't so (it isn't so).
DM Bm Em7b5
Now say it isn't so (it isn't so). Say it isn't so (it isn't
A7
so.)
The next verse and chorus have the same chord changes.
Lyrics as follows:
We like to be the strangers at the party, two rebels in a shell.
You like to move with the best of them you know we move so well.
Don't need someone to lean on. I know that there's an open door.
But if I'm faced with being replaced I want you even more so baby say it isn't so...
Chorus
Bridge: Switches between Amaj7 and G6 for three bars.
Bm7/A
Why you gonna go do you hafta say you wanna go ooh ooh baby say it isn't...
Chorus: D/Bm/Em7b5/A7
Vocal ad lib, repeat until fade.
