C        Em               D
Will you say you love me Jo?
C      Em             D
How am I supposed to know?
C        Em           D
When you go under the waste
C       Em            D   C
What am I supposed to say?

Chorus:
G  Em        C
I see people on the floor
G        Em      C
They're slidin' to the sea
G      Em       C
Can't stay here anymore
G     Em      C
We're turning into thieves

G     Am          C
If I stay here trouble will find me
G     Am        C
If I stay here I'll never leave
G               Em
If I stay here trouble will find me
C
I believe

Joe, I'll always think of you
As the kind of child who knew
This was never gonna last
Oh, Joe, you fell so fast

C        Em                    D
Hey Joe, sorry I hurt you, but
          C
They say love is a virtue, don't they?
Hey Joe, sorry I hurt you, but
They say love is a virtue, don't they?
Hey Joe, sorry I hurt you, but
They say love is a virtue, don't they?
Hey Joe, sorry I hurt you, but
They say love is a virtue, don't they?

Chorus

I see you rushing down
Tell me how to reach you
I see you rushing now
What did Harvard teach you?
I see you rushing down
Tell me how to reach you
I see you rushing down
What did Harvard teach you?
I see you rushing down (Don’t drag me in)
Tell me how to reach you
I see you rushing down (Don’t drag me in)
What did Harvard teach you?
I see you rushing down (Don’t drag me in)
Tell me how to reach you
I see you rushing down (Don’t drag me in)
What did Harvard teach you?
