Intro D MajorD G+G E minorEm D MajorD

D MajorD
I watch you reading a book
           G+G
I get to thinking our love's a polished stone
        E minorEm
You give me a long drawn look
                       D MajorD
I know pretty soon you're going to leave our home


And of course I mind
          G+G
Especially when I'm thinking from my heart
        E minorEm
But life don't clickety clack down

A augmentedA straight line track
                 D MajorD
It comes together and it comes apart

      G+G         A augmentedA
You say you hope I'm not the kind
      B minorBm    F#F#
To make you feel obliged
D MajorD  G+G           A augmentedA
To go ticking through your time
    B minorBm    F#F#  D MajorD  G+G
With a pained look in your eyes
         A augmentedA
You give me the furniture
    B minorBm    F#F#   D MajorD
We'll divide the photographs
   G+G
Go out to dinner one more time

Have ourselves a bottle of wine
        E minorEm
And a couple of laughs

           D MajorD
And when first you left
      G+G
I stayed so sad I wouldn't sleep
       E minorEm
I know that love's a gift, I thought yours was mine
              D MajorD
And something that I could keep
                 G+G
Now I realize that time is not the only compromise
   E minorEm
But a bird in the hand could be an all night stand
                     D MajorD
Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies

  G+G         A augmentedA
So I hope I'm not the kind
      B minorBm   F#F#
To make you feel obliged
D MajorD  G+G           A augmentedA
To go ticking through your time
    B minorBm    F#F#  D MajorD  G+G
With a pained look in your eyes
         A augmentedA     D MajorD         B minorBm
I covered the furniture, I framed the photographs
    G+G
Went out to dinner one more time
                      E minorEm
Had myself a bottle of wine and a couple of laughs

          D MajorD
And just the other day
     G+G
I got your letter in the mail
       E minorEm
I'm happy for you, its been so long
                      D MajorD
You've been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trail

And I think that's great me
     G+G
I seem to find myself in school
     E minorEm
It's all Ok, I just want to say
                D MajorD
I'm so relieved we didn't do it cruel

But ain't life a brook
           G+G
Just when I get to feeling like a polished stone
      E minorEm
I give me along drawn look
                    D MajorD
It's kind of a drag to find yourself alone

And sometimes I mind
          G+G
Especially when I'm waiting on your heart
        E minorEm
But life don't clickety clack down

A augmentedA straight line track
                D MajorD
It comes together and it comes apart

    G+G          A augmentedA
Cause I know you're not the kind
      B minorBm   F#F#
To make me feel obliged
D MajorD  G+G          A augmentedA
To go ticking through my time
    B minorBm    F#F#  D MajorD G+G
With a pained look in my eyes
      A augmentedA         B minorBm   F#F#   D MajorD
I sold the furniture, I put away the photographs
    G+G
Went out to dinner one more time
      E minorEm
Skipped the bottle of wine

Had a couple of laughs
        D MajorD
And wasn't it fine
