Sympathy

Verse 1:
 Dm            Gm
Sympathy just doesn’t mean
      Dm        G
That much to me
    Dm                       
Compassion’s not
     A             Dm
The fashion in my mind
               Dm
And if you’re looking for
    Gm
A shoulder to cry on
       Dm                G
Don’t turn your head my way
            Dm
’cause I’d rather have
    A         Dm
My music any day

Verse 2:
Dm
You and I are
 Gm             Dm     G
Masters of our destiny
    Dm            A              Dm
We look for consolation all the time
          Dm                  Gm
Until we find out things are not
                Dm              G
What they were meant to be, oh no
           Dm               A
And if it doesn’t suit our mood
                Dm
We’ll call it crime

Chorus:
Gm                    Dm
  Dedication’s not an obligation
      A
Or a figment of
            Dm
Someone’s imagination
         Gm
It’s the only way they say
    Dm
To live from day to day
    A
To make each passing way
            Dm
A small sensation

Verse 3:
Dreams are the possession of
The simple man
Reality the fantasy of youth
But living is a problem that
Is common to us all
With love the only
Common road to truth

[Chorus]  - x2
