Practical Arrangement


Verse I:

     Am9Am9
A minorAm I asking for the moon?
      FMaj9Fmaj9                   Fmaj9add6
Is it really so implausible?
Dm7Dm7                  Dm7/F  G7G7
That you and I could soon
        Cmaj7Cmaj7                     E7sus4E7sus4  E7E7
Come to some kind of arrangement?

        Am9Am9
I'm not asking for the moon
FMaj9Fmaj9                      Fmaj9add6
I've always been a realist
          Dm9Dm9                 Dm9/F  G7G7
When it's really nothing more
       Cmaj7Cmaj7                 E7sus4E7sus4  E7E7
Than a simple rearrangement

         A minorAm                    B7sus4B7sus4 B7B7
With one roof above our heads
E minorEm                        EmMaj7 E minor 7Em7
A augmentedA warm house to return to
         Dm7Dm7                       Dm7/F  G7G7
We could start with separate beds
        Cmaj7Cmaj7                    E7sus4E7sus4  E7E7
I could sleep alone or learn to
           A minorAm

I'm not suggesting that we'd find
Am7Am7          F#m7b5F#m7b5      Fmaj7Fmaj7
Some earthly paradise forever
           Bbmaj7Bbmaj7                     Bm7b5 Bm7b5
I mean how often does that happen now
Esus4Esus4                       E MajorE
The answer's probably never
             Am9Am9
But we could come to an arrangement
Dm9Dm9
A augmentedA practical arrangement
B9sus4B9sus4                 Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
And you could learn to love me
      Am9Am9      Dm7Dm7  E7E7

Verse II:

        Am9Am9
I'm not promising the moon
        FMaj9Fmaj9                Fmaj9add6
I'm not promising a rainbow
       Dm7Dm7                Dm7/F  G7G7
Just a practical solution
     Cmaj7Cmaj7         E7sus4E7sus4  E7E7
To a solitary life

         Am9Am9
I'd be a father to your boy
  FMaj9Fmaj9                      Fmaj9add6
A augmentedA shoulder you could lean on
Dm7Dm7                 Dm7/F  G7G7
How bad could it be
Cmaj7Cmaj7           E7sus4E7sus4  E7E7
To be my wife?

         A minorAm                    B7sus4B7sus4  B7B7
With one roof above our heads
E minorEm                        EmMaj7  E minor 7Em7
A augmentedA warm house to return to
Dm7Dm7                              Dm7/F  G7G7
You wouldn't have to cook for me
Cmaj7Cmaj7                         E7sus4E7sus4  E7E7
You wouldn't have to learn to

  A minorAm                Am7Am7
I'm not suggesting that this proposition here
F#m7b5F#m7b5        Fmaj7Fmaj7
Could last forever
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7                             Bm7b5 Bm7b5
I've no intention of deceiving you
Esus4Esus4                 E MajorE
You're far too clever
             Am9Am9
But we could come to an arrangement
Dm7Dm7
A augmentedA practical arrangement
       B9sus4B9sus4              Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
And perhaps you'd learn to love me
      Esus4Esus4   E MajorE
Given time

   A minorAm             Am7Am7
It may not be the romance
         F#m7b5F#m7b5  Fmaj7Fmaj7
That you had in mind
B9sus4B9sus4                 Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
But you could learn to love me
