Key: E

Verse 1:
     E                           A
Each time we try to have a movie date dear
     B                                 E
Each time we try to watch some kind of flick
      E                         A
It's hardly half an hour that I wait, dear
B                                   E
Before your tired head drops like a brick
 
Verse 2:
     E                        A
Does Bill Murray's Day repeat forever?
     B                             E
Does Humphrey Bogart ever find the gold?
     E                         A
Will Annie Hall and Woody stay together?
   B                                             E
I learn all these things myself while you're out cold

Chorus:
             E                                       A
Because that head starts swinging with that same old motion
         B                           E
And it's hardly even half past nine o'clock
            E                           A
Soon you're bobbing far away out on thе ocean
     B                                     E
And I'm left lonely watching moviеs on the dock
 
Verse 3:
           E                            A
To feel my loved one's head rest on my shoulder
         B                  E
Can be a cozy feeling to be sure
    E                                A
But only when we're sharing feeling closer
    B                                         E
Not when you've slipped a million miles from shore
 
Verse 4:
    E                   A
Why must your head turn mighty as an anvil?
     B                          E
When movie watching hour comes around
    E                         A
It just becomes so heavy and substantial
    B                                   E
It rolls and rolls and then it crashes down
 
Chorus:
             E                                      A
'Cause that head starts swinging with that same old motion
         B                           E
And it's hardly even half past nine o'clock
            E                           A
Soon you're bobbing far away out on the ocean
     B                                     E
And I'm left lonely watching movies on the dock
 
Verse 5:
   E                                  A
It used to be we'd rarely get through movies
        B                            E
'Cause loving passion swept away our patience
  E                                    A
Epics or shorts, we still couldn't get through these
     B                             E
We'd miss the end, whatever their durations
 
Verse 6:
          E                                    A
Till with more time spent at work and less for kisses
   B                                              E
I thought at least we'd now watch movies till the end
    E                                     A
But sad to say, that's still the part she misses
  B                                                E
I guess we wouldn't even get through them just as friends
 
Verse 7:
    E                               A
We love to be together, that's for certain
        B                         E
There's deep communication in our hearts
    E                                         A
But when each morning we discuss Hitchcock or Bergman
    B                                 E
We only talk about the way each movie starts
 
Chorus:
            E                                       A
'Cause that head starts swinging with that same old motion
          B                          E
And it's hardly even half past nine o'clock
             E                           A
Soon you're bobbing far away out on the ocean
    B                                      E
And I'm left lonely watching movies on the dock
