Am           E           Am     Gm7      C          Fmaj7 E7 
I'm told the case is now closed so I can come to my senses  
Am           E          Am  E Am  Gm7         C            
But when the question is posed I'll have this meager defense  
 
Fmaj7 C           Em         Bb

I was hoping but you're an amateur  
I was hoping that you'd know better  
     D        Bb      D   E7 
But I've been wrong before  
 
Am         E          Am   Gm7         C            Fmaj7  E7 
Despite conclusions I drew there was a chance you'd surprise me  
Am           E         Am  E Am  Gm7          C            
And you'd be better than you  'cause I'd have left otherwise  
 
Fmaj7 C           Em         Bb 
I was hoping that you'd know better than that  
I was hoping but you're an amateur  
I was hoping that you'd know better

So I wasn't thinking clearly  
So you didn't think at all  
   Bb     Fm       Bb    Fm  
I thought that was protocol
