c

See all the people

G    F

With hatred in their eyes

c                     G

I can't help thinking that

     F  

It's only a disguise

      c               G

Cause underneath that core

                  F

There's got to be more

                   G

Than what we realize



c

Maybe they're scared

    G      F 

To let the inside out

c

Maybe they're afraid to

G          F

Show what they're all about

        c               G                  F 

So they put on a heavy front and hope that no one else

               G

Can work them out



        Am       F            G

So they put on all the heaviness

        Am       F             G 

But its only an illusion heaviness

          F

Can't you see

         G

They're scared to

c             G        F

Show a little bit of emotion

c             G        F

A little bit of real emotion

   c             G        F

In case a little bit of emotion

             G

Gives them away



c                  G        F

Look at that lady dancing around with no clothes

       c

She'll give you all her body

G          F

That's if you've got the dough

       c

She'll let you see most

G            F

Anything but there's one thing

                  G

That she'll never show

             c             G      F

And that's a little bit of real emotion

   c            G       F

A little bit of true emotion

   c             G        F  

In case a little bit of emotion

           G

Gives her away



           Am          F           G

But it's a shame she's acting that way

              Am        F             G

Somehow she's gotta get through every day

              F       G

And the only way

          c               G        F

Is not to show one little bit of emotion

   c            G      F

A little bit of true emotion

   c             G        F                 G

In case a little bit of emotion gives her away



(Break)

Am

People learn their lines

         G

And they act out their part

          F

Then they talk on cue

	 c

But it's got no heart

     Am

It's all on the surface

         G

And it's all contrived

        F

They're scared to come out

                       G

Somehow they've got to survive



c

Look at that looney

G      F            

With a smile on his face

   c

He knows no shame

G   F

And feels no disgrace

     G      c

He's got a look in his eyes

     G        F                         G

That makes it seem that he's from outer space

c                 G            F

Maybe that looney knows what it's all about

G        c

He's got something to say

G       F                  G

But he can't spit it out

     c              G        F

He's unco-ordinated so we - shut him out



        G  c              G       F

In case he shows a little bit of emotion

   c            G      F

A little bit of real emotion

       c              G       F

We're afraid to see a bit of emotion

      G

So we walk away

c             G            F

Show a little bit of real emotion

c              G       F

Show a little bit of emotion

        c              G       F

We're afraid to see a bit of emotion

       G       

So we walk away
