The Hollies

Tell Me To My Face

(Alan Clarke/Tony Hicks/Graham Nash)

Track 4 on album 'For Certain Because' (December 1966)



Three a'-four....



Though you try to justify the meaning

Of the note you sent this evening

To my door you're not deceiving me

I had a'-thought that you'd {hav}e known much better

Sending 'round an unsigned letter

Facing me would be much better now



{Chorus:}

Is it just that you can't face the future with me?

Can't you tell me to my face?

You just took the coward's way to say goodbye

How would you feel here in my place?



{interlude}



If at last I think I'm glad to rid myself of you I'm sad

To think about the time I'll have to go

Then I'll turn and walk away so please don't beg for me to stay

Cause I know just what I will say to you



{chorus}

{interlude}



Tell me to my face you're leaving now.

Tell me to my face you're leaving now.



Though you try to justify the meaning

Of the note you sent this evening

To my door you're not deceiving me

I had a'-thought that you'd {hav}e known much better

Sending 'round an unsigned letter

Facing me would be much better now



{chorus}

{interlude-finale}
