[Verse 1]
        F
To your common sense firm arguments
        F              Eb
I won't listen to your voice of reason
Bb                  F
Trying to change my mind.
  F
I mind my feelings and not your words.
           F             Eb
Didn't you notice I'm so headstrong
Bb                   F
Even when I know I'm wrong?


[Refrain]
Bb                F                   Gm
Take this to your heart and into your head now:
   Bb                 F            Gm               F
Before you waste your time, call a truce and call a   draw.


[Verse 2]
F
What's the use in mapping your views out in orderly form
             Eb             Bb       F
When it does nothing but confuse and anger me more?
  F
I mind my feelings and not your words.
                         Eb
Didn't you notice I'm so headstrong.
       Bb           F
You're talking to a deaf stone wall.


[Refrain]
Bb                F                   Gm
Take this to your heart and into your head now:
    Bb                 F            Gm
The old wives' tale is true, I'll repeat it.
Bb             F                            Gm                  F
All is fair in love and war, that's how the famous saying goes.

[Bridge]
C            F     C                 F
Open up your eyes, see me for what I am:
C         F             Bb                C
  Cast in iron, I won't break and I won't bend.


[Refrain]
Bb                F                   Gm
Take this to your heart and into your head now:

The old wives' tale is true, I'll repeat it.
Bb             F                            Gm                  F
All is fair in love and war, that's how the famous saying goes.


[Verse 3]
     F
If I told you we were out to sea in a bottomless boat,
             Eb                      Bb              F
You'd try anything to save us, you'd try anything to keep us afloat.
       F
And if we were living in a house afire,
                               Eb            Bb               F
I don't believe that you could rush out and escape it and not   rescue me.


[Refrain]
Bb                F                   Gm
Take this to your heart and into your head now:
    Bb                 F            Gm
The old wives' tale is true, I'll repeat it.
Bb             F                            Gm
All is fair in love and war, that's how the famous saying goes.


[Coda]
Bb        F                          Gm
Listen, I think they were talking to you.
