[Verse 1]

Cm7                      Eb        Dm
I made life easy just by laughing,
Cm7                        Eb      Dm
I was the first to see the joke.
        Cm7                    Eb     Dm
When he said I'm afraid we are losing,
Cm7                           Eb     Dm
don't like the way he gave up hope.

[Chorus]

G
Alethea, Alethea,
      F                               Eb
don't let them put_ the blame on you.       
     Cm7
What seems so bad now, 
      Gm7                    F
could easily change for the better.

[Verse 2]

Cm7                         Eb       Dm
I turned away from all that hurt me,
Cm7                  Eb  Dm
now just a faded memory.
Cm7                              Eb    Dm
Get on the track that suits you, baby,
Cm7                         Eb  Dm
love the love that wants to be.

[Chorus]

G
Alethea, Alethea,
      F                               Eb
don't let them put_ the blame on you.       
     Cm7
What seems so bad now, 
      Gm7                    F
could easily change for the better.

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

G
Alethea, Alethea,
      F                               Eb
don't let them put_ the blame on you.       
     Cm7
What seems so bad now, 
      Gm7                    F
could easily change for the better.
