Tell It Like It Is

 
              Intro:    C+  (piano arpeggio) 
Verse 1: 
       C7/G  Gm              C7 
If you want    something to play with 
        Gm      C7      F  Fmaj7/C  F6 
Go and find yourself a toy 
        D7/F#        C7/G       Gm  C7 
Baby my time is too expensive 
        Gm   C7           F  Fmaj7/C  F6 
And I'm not     a little boy 
Am          Dm 
If you are serious 
Am                                     Dm 
Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious 
Am                     Bb 
But if you want me to love you 
             C    Bb/C                Am/C 
Then baby I will,     girl you know I will 
Verse 2: 
C7 
Tell it like it is 
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide 
But I... know deep down inside of me 
I believe you love me 
Forget your foolish pride 
Life is too short to have sorrow 
We may be here today and gone tomorrow 
You might as well get what you want 
So go on and live, baby go on and live 
Coda {repeat first half of verse 2}: 
Tell it like it is 
I'm nothing to play with 
Go and find yourself a toy 
But I... tell it like it is 
My time is too expensive 
And I'm not your little boy 
Tell it like it is... {fade}
