[Verse 1]
            
It doesn't mat

              
ter what I say
            
So long as I s

             
ing with infle

 
ction
             
That makes you

             
 feel that I'l

        
l convey
            
Some inner tru

             
th of vast ref

   
lection
             
But I've said 

              
nothing so far
             
And I can keep

            
 it up as long

       
 as it takes
            
And it don't m

are
            
If I'm doing m

             
y job then it'

              
s your resolve

[Hook]
             
Because the ho

On that you ca

[Verse 2]
            
There is somet

         
hing amiss
            
I am being ins

      
incere
            
In fact I don'

           
t mean any of 

   
this
            
Still my confe

              
ssion draws yo

      
u near
             
To confuse the

            
 issue I refer
             
To familiar he

            
roes from long

No matter how 

             
much Peter lov

What made the 

             
Pan refuse to
