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.
