Amateur/Aimee Mann
3/4 time signature
{weird tuning here, unless the tape is sped up slightly, its 1 semi-tone sharper than normal tuning)
I'm told the case is now closed so I can come to my senses
But when the question is posed I'll have this meager defense
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
But I've been wrong before
Despite conclusions I drew there was a chance you'd surprise me
And you'd be better than you 'cause I'd have left otherwise
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
But I've been wrong before
So I wasn't thinking clearly
So you didn't think at all
I thought that was protocol
[piano/guitar solo]
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
But I've been wrong before
I was hoping that
I was hoping but you're an amateur
I was hoping that you'd know better
But I've been wrong before
