[E]He selects the [B]plainest face form a [A]spiteful row of [B]girls
[E]Elegant in[B]sulted women, [A]a flaw of cultured [G#7]pearls
[C#m] He drops a [G#m]name or two,[G#] she fails to [C#m]catch
At [A]last he's met his [E]match
Unspoiled and unaf[B]fected, he wants her so [E]much
[intro E]
[E]She puts up half-[B]hearted resistance,[A] like she was taught to [B]do
[E]She's heard some of those [B]small town playboys [A]but this is something [G#7]new
[C#m] His promise seems [G#m]dangerous, [G#]she'd like to [C#m]believe
He [A]says "You'd better [E]leave"
"You've only got your[B]self to blame, shame, or [E]deceive"
[E7]The waiting lines are [A]long
[Am]They never get too [E]far
Everyone wearing that medal with [B]pride

[intro E]
[E]I looked on but [B]hesitated
[A] I failed to inter[B]rupt
[E]You're so hard to [B]tell the truth too
[A] So easy to co[G#7]rrupt
[C#m] I'll memo[G#m]rize your face
[G#] Your tragic [C#m]smile
The [A]hurt look in your [E]eyes
As you betrayed your[B]self to the part of him that [E]dies
[E7]The waiting lines are [A]long
They [Am]never get too [E]far
They're [E7]shining up their [A]shoes to [Am]kick a falling [E]star
You [E7]think you should be [A]somebody
But you [Am]don't know who you [E]are
Everyone wearing that medal with [B]pride
