_ The boy, _ _ _ well, the boy kept singing loud and clear, _ _ _
_ because [G] everybody knows [E] that the walls [Am] have ears.
_ _ The ones who tell the [F]
lies _ are the sullenest, I swear,
[E] _
_ _ [Em] and the ones who love the [F] dice _ always say the toss is [D]
[Am] fair.
_ And the ones who deal the cards [C] _ are the ones who take the tricks,
[Em] _
_ _ with their hands [G] over their [C] hearts.
_ While we play the games they fix, [Am] _ _ they're the ones who speak the [Em]
words,
and the ones who play will [F] always say the last,
[Em] _
_ _ because no answer will be [F]
heard.
[Em] _ _ _ [Am] No one asked, _ so I ask you as a [F] brother, _ _ and I ask you as a friend,
[Em] _
_ _ and I ask you as a [F] lover.
_ [Em] And [C] _ once [Am] again, is [G] it true what [F] they say?
