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
