Chords with lyrics
FF
I never met a lady
C majorC Bb majorBb
Quite as pretty as Melody Dean
FF
And when I laid my head down on her
C majorC Bb majorBb
heart it beated out your name
FF
And so I had to
C majorC
listen to her
Bb majorBb
heart beat several hundred times and
FF
She was very
C majorC
nice about it
Bb majorBb
Held my hand and didn't mind
FF
I never put my foot in the same
C majorC Bb majorBb
River twice I don't like getting wet
FF
You take the good you take the bad
C majorC Bb majorBb
You take it all and that is all you get
FF
The fact is you would rather I be
C majorC Bb majorBb
lonely in a bathtub with a book
FF
The fact is you would rather I sat
C majorC Bb majorBb
Pining on our pictures from New York
New York, New York, New York
But
FF C majorC Bb majorBb
I get torn to pieces
FF C majorC Bb majorBb
For the stupidest reasons
FF C majorC Bb majorBb
All I want's to love the one I'm with
Just like the song says
FF
I don't like picking sides I don't like
C majorC Bb majorBb
Sticking my Sharona in a box
FF
I like to spread her out on different
C majorC Bb majorBb
Crackers, yeah I like the way she looks
FF
And when I go to bed at night with
C majorC Bb majorBb
Melody undressing in my head
FF
To get tot sleep you know that I would
C majorC Bb majorBb
Rather be undressing you instead
Instead, instead, instead
FF
I never met a lady quite as
C majorC
Pretty as Melody Dean and
Bb majorBb
Even though I know you are a little bit angry with me
FF
You know that it is you I love
C majorC
And you I want to get me off
Bb majorBb
But you can only do that when you're here
And right now you are not
FF
(Instrumental break follows the exact same pattern)
FF
I never cross the Continental
C majorC Bb majorBb
Divide without thinking about you
FF
I am a tree that's carved up with her
C majorC Bb majorBb
Name she is a warrior tattoo
FF
And the fact is you're selective about
C majorC Bb majorBb
what you can remember for a start
FF
The fact is you're just jealous as all
C majorC Bb majorBb
Get out we can do it in the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark
But
FF C majorC Bb majorBb
I get torn to pieces
FF C majorC Bb majorBb
For the stupidest reasons
FF C majorC Bb majorBb
All I want's to love the one I'm with
Just like Steven Stills says
FF
I never met a lady quite as
C majorC
Pretty as Melody Dean and
Bb majorBb
Even though I know you are a little bit angry with me
FF
You know that it is you I love
C majorC
And you I want to get me off
Bb majorBb
But you can only do that when you're here
And right now you are not
