EElegant inBsulted women, Aa flaw of cultured G#7pearls

C#m He drops a G#mname or two,G# she fails to C#mcatch
At Alast he's met his Ematch
Unspoiled and unafBfected, he wants her so Emuch

EShe puts up half-Bhearted resistance,A like she was taught to Bdo
EShe's heard some of those Bsmall town playboys Abut this is something G#7new
C#m His promise seems G#mdangerous, G#she'd like to C#mbelieve
He Asays "You'd beEtter leave"
"You've only gotB yourself to blame, shameE, or deceive"
E7The waiting lines are Along
AmThey never get too Efar
Everyone wearing that medal with Bpride

EI looked on but Bhesitated
A I failed to interBrupt
EYou're so hard to Btell the truth too
A So easy to coG#7rrupt
C#m I'll memoG#mrize your face
G# Your tragic C#msmile
The Ahurt look in your Eeyes
As you betrayed yourBself to the part of him that Edies
E7The waiting lines are Along
They Amnever get too Efar
They're E7shining up their Ashoes to Amkick a falling Estar
You E7think you should be Asomebody
But you Amdon't know who you Eare
Everyone wearing that medal with Bpride
