Intro: G+G D7D7
G+G D7D7
He started to woo her in the most peculiar way,
D7D7 G+G
The Librarian's dress was a fawnish shade of grey,
G+G D7D7
The books he was to borrow he would surely never read,
D7D7 G+G
They had an intellectual caliber, he hoped
that she would see.

He planned to take her home to bed some day,
C majorC
He'd smooth her goose bumped skin while she
G+G G/f#
lay,
E minorEm A minorAm
But the unspoken thing they both knew,
C majorC
Whilst he'd dream of her often she would forget
D MajorD
in just ten minutes.
G+G E minorEm C majorC
Her beauty has not truly been seen until her
D MajorD C majorC G+G
beauty's been seen by his tired eyes,
G+G E minorEm C majorC
Her tears have not truly been dried until her
D MajorD C majorC G+G
tears have been dried on his tattered shirt sleeves.
G+G D7D7
He was beginning to irritate so she made him go away,
D7D7 G+G
The smallest cruelest insults she ignored his subtle ways.
G+G D7D7
The deftly silence let him know his efforts were in vain,
D7D7 G+G
Did the words ever exist and if so could he find them.

But the unspoken thing they both knew,

Whilst he'd dream of her often she would forget

G+G E minorEm C majorC
Her beauty has not truly been seen until her
D MajorD C majorC G+G
beauty's been seen by his tired eyes,
G+G E minorEm C majorC
Her tears have not truly been dried until her
D MajorD C majorC G+G
tears have been dried on his tattered shirt sleeves.
G+G E minorEm C majorC
Her body has not truly been stripped till her
D MajorD C majorC G+G
clothes have been ripped by his nail bitten
G+G
fingers,
G+G E minorEm C majorC
Her beauty has not truly been seen till her
D MajorD C majorC G+G
beauty's been seen by his tired eyes.
G+G E minorEm C majorC
and oh, on the loneliest of nights
D MajorD C majorC G+G
he will never hold her tight he will never kiss her eyelids
