It's a very easy song and nice to sing to enjoy The intro is: Em - G - D (4 times) then: you spend too much time dwellin' in some sweet afterwords the past is a puddle, there's a flower in the middle that could be yours if you'd sing a little softer, pay a little more attention to the atmospheres you can't tell it like it is if you can't tell it like it is without asking you can't tell it like it is if you can't tell it like it is without explaining you can't tell it like it is if you can't tell it like it is without complaining you can't tell it like it is if you can't tell it like it is without drinking you can't tell it like it is 'cause there ain't no like it is spend all your time dwelling on some ill preacher's curse the pact is pointless and everyone staring eats their words so sing a little softer, pay a little more attention to the atmospheres you can't tell it like it is if you can't tell it like it is without parading you can't tell it like it is if you can't tell it like it is without breaking you can't tell it like it is if you can't tell it like it is without erasing you can't tell it like it is if you can tell it like it is without weeping you can't tell it like it is 'cause there ain't no like it is
