VERSE1:

[Guitar Figure 1]
Now it's just you two in a world of poems and paintings

 [Guitar Figure 1]
I guess this means I'm through, it also means I'm breaking

   [Guitar Figure 1]
But Isabelle, what can I do, if I'm caught in him, this man you love?

   [Guitar Figure 1]
And Isabelle, what can I do, if his strong hands make it hard to shove him

[Guitar Figure 1]
away?


VERSE2:

     [Guitar Figure 1]
And I know it's hard to picture it up here

  [Guitar Figure 1]
In your tobacco-strewn back yard

      [Guitar Figure 1]
And it is kinda toilsome to keep an eye on him

    [Guitar Figure 1]
Just look what he's done so far

   [Guitar Figure 1]
But Isabelle, what can I do? The last thing I need is to end up askew

   [Guitar Figure 1]
And Isabelle, what can I do? The prophets make it difficult

[Guitar Figure 1]
Isabelle, what can I do in the few weeks time you're out of sight?

   [Guitar Figure 1]
And Isabelle, what can I do just because it feels all right?

BRIDGE:

       [Guitar Figure 1]
And the ground's already hard where it's been dug in
    [Guitar Figure 1]
I've gone this way too many times
       [Guitar Figure 1]
And the pit keeps getting deeper but I'm not turning back
  [Guitar Figure 1]
So Isabelle, try to understand


VERSE3:

 [Guitar Figure 1]
I know just what to say but it's incorrect to say it

   [Guitar Figure 1]
How do I break it to him?

   [Guitar Figure 1]
The death of one is staying and all I think of now

    [Guitar Figure 1]
Is a way to get under and a way to get out

  [Guitar Figure 1]
So Isabelle, what can I do with the naive pain it's causing you?
