[Verse 1]
[Cm7]I made life easy just by [Eb]laughing,[Dm]
[Cm7]I was the first to see the [Eb]joke.[Dm]
When he [Cm7]said I'm afraid we are [Eb]losing,[Dm]
[Cm7]don't like the way he gave up [Eb]hope.[Dm]
[Chorus]
[G]Alethea, Alethea,
don't [F]let them put_ the blame on you. [Eb]
What [Cm7]seems so bad now,
could [Gm7]easily change for the better.
[Verse 2]
[Cm7]I turned away from all that [Eb]hurt me,[Dm]
[Cm7]now just a faded memo[Eb]ry.[Dm]
[Cm7]Get on the track that suits you, [Eb]baby,[Dm]
[Cm7]love the love that wants to [Eb]be.[Dm]
[Chorus]
[G]Alethea, Alethea,
don't [F]let them put_ the blame on you. [Eb]
What [Cm7]seems so bad now,
could [Gm7]easily change for the better.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
[G]Alethea, Alethea,
don't [F]let them put_ the blame on you. [Eb]
What [Cm7]seems so bad now,
could [Gm7]easily change for the better.
