Capo III C G If you had the real thing, how would you tell? F Liars can say it all just as well C G F Every single word you've heard in vain C G Baubles of gold, stars in your hair F Reflections that told you they were not there C G F And the diamonds on your cheeks have turned to flames G C Am And up in the air, they would write your name there F G E Am But love would fall to pieces in the rain Am G G F Who would know better than you? A hundred love letters and none of them true C G F Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah C G F Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah It's a wondrous world of ridiculous things With nothing so rare as the love that it brings In the silence of a smile that understands A piece of the action, pieces of gold Everyone's paid well and does what they're told For the simple daughter of a simple man And up in the air, they would write your name there But love would fall to pieces in the rain Who would know better than you? A hundred love letters and none of them true Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah C G F Christina, oh-wah-oh-wah oh-wah, yeah C G D F C Christina, oh-wah-oh-wah oh-wah, ye - e - ah
