Intro:  
  Am  
  D   
  C

  Am                     
  D
You want to know why I hate you?
          
  C              
  D
Well I~ll try and explain...
     
  Am                  
  D
You remember that day in Paris
        
  C                    
  D
When we wandered through the rain
    
  Am               
  D
And promised to each other
          
  C                
  D
That we~d always think the same
    
  Am                    
  D               
  C
And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one
    
  Am                  
  D
And stopped just as the sun set
    
  C              
  D
And waited for the night
   
  Am                
  D
Outside a glittering building
   
  C                    
  D
Of glittering glass and burning light...


And in the road before us stood a weary greyish man
Who held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags and thinner than air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you

    
  Bm                 
  A
The father~s eyes said beautiful
    
  Bm            
  A
How beautiful you are
    
  Bm                  
  A
The boy~s eyes said how beautiful
    
  Bm
She shimmers like a star
    
  Am                   
  Em
The child~s eyes uttered nothing
    
  F
But mute and utter joy
    
  Am                   
  Em
And filled my heart with shame for us
        
  F
For the way we are
     
  Am        
  Em        
  F
(The way we are)



  D    
  Am    
  D    
  Am   
  D   
  Am   
  F

  Am                
  D
I turned to look at you
           
  C                  
  D
To read my thoughts upon your face
    
  Am              
  D
And gazed so deep into your eyes
   
  C              
  D
So beautiful and strange
  
  Am                
  D              
  C             
  D
Until you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream
   
  Am                
  D
-I hate these people staring
          
  C             
  D
Make them go away from me-


The father~s eyes said beautiful
How beautiful you are
The boy~s eyes said how beautiful
She shimmers like a star
The child~s eyes uttered nothing
But pride and utter joy
And stilled my heart with sadness
For the way we are

    
  D             
  Am
And this is why I hate you
    
  D          
  Am
And how I understand
     
  D           
  Am                 
  F
That no-one ever knows or loves another

               
  Am
Or loves another
