intro – bass and piano run

verse 1
You’ve done it all, you’ve broken every code
And pulled the Rebel to the floor.
                        (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba, etc)
You’ve spoilt the game, no matter what you say,
For only metal, what a bore.
Blue eyes, blue eyes, how can you tell so many lies?
(oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la ooo – aah)

chorus
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
I’ll do what you want, running wi-i-i-ild. (2-3-4-1)

verse 2
There’s nothing left, all gone and run away,
Maybe you’ll tarry for a while?
                     (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba, etc)
It’s just a test, a game for us to play,
Win or lose, it’s hard to smile.
Resist, resist, it’s from yourself you have to hide.
(oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la ooo aah)

chorus
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
I’ll do what you want, running wi-i-i-ild.
I’ll do what you want, running wi-i-i-ild. (2-3-4, 1-2)

instrumental (2 extra beats before start)

verse 3
There ain’t no more, you’ve taken everything
From my belief in Mother Earth.
                     (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba, etc)
Can you ignore my faith in everything?
‘Cos I know what faith is and what it’s worth.
  Away, away and don’t say maybe you’ll try… to
(oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la ooo aah)

chorus
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
I’ll do what you want, running wi-i-i-ild.
I’ll do what you want, running wi-i-i-ild. (2-3-4)

interlude
(oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la ooo aah)

chorus and outro
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
I’ll do what you want, running wi-i-i-i-i-i-ild.
I’ll do what you want, running wi-i-i-i-i-i-ild.
