    Am 
She cooks you sweet potato, you don't like aubergine 
    G 
She knows to boil the kettle when you hum bars from Grease 
    Am 
She senses you are lonely but still she can't be sure 
    G 
And so she stands and waits, stands anticipating 

C7M                            Em                            A#        D 
(your thoughts) 
How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you 
C7M                            Em                            A#        D 
How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you 

   Am 
He brushes thoroughly, he know she likes fresh breath 
   G 
He rushes to the station, he waits atop the steps 
     Am 
He's brought with him a Mars bar, she will not buy Nestle 
    G 
And later he'll perform a love lorn serenade, a trade 

C7M                           Em                           A#        D 
How can he become the psychic that he longs to be to understand you 
C7M                           Em                           A#        D 
How can he become the psychic that he longs to be to understand you 

   Am 
So give her information to help her fill the holes 
G 
Give an ounce of power so he does not feel controlled 
Am 
Help her to acknowledge the pain that you are in 
G                                               C 
Give to him a glimpse of that beneath your skin 

    F            Em        D              C 
And now my inner dialog is heaving with detest 
       Am           Bm           C            D 
I am a martyr and a victim and I need to be caressed 
  F               Em             D                 C 
I hate that you negate me, I'm a ghost at beck and call 
    Am             Bm          C                D 
I'm failing and placating, I berate myself for staying 
    F      Em  D  C  Am  Bm  C7M  Em  A#  D  C7M  Em  A#  D 
I'm a fool,    I'm a fool

   Am 
He greets the stranger meekly, a thing that she accepts 
    G 
She sees him waiting often with chocolate on the steps 
   Am 
He senses she is lonely, she's glad they finally met 
     G 
They take each other's hands walk into the sunset 
   C 
Do you like sweet potatoes?
