[Verse 1]
G
I watch you reading a book
G Cmaj7
I get to thinking our love's a polished stone
C Cmaj7 C
You give me a long drawn look
Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 G
I know pretty soon you're going to leave our home
[Verse 2]
G
And of course I mind
G Cmaj7
Especially when I'm thinking from my heart
C Cmaj7 C
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 G
You come together and you come a - part
[Chorus]
C D
You say you hope I'm not the kind
Em Em/F# G
To make you feel obliged to go
C D
ticking through your time
Em Em/F# G
With a pained look in your
C D
eyes, You give me the furniture,
G Em/F# Em
we'll divide the photo graphs
C Cmaj7 Cadd9
Go out to dinner one more time
C Cmaj7 Cadd9
Have ourselves a bottle of wine
Cadd9
And a couple of laughs
[Verse 3]
G
When first you left
G Cmaj7
I stayed so sad I wouldn't sleep
C Cmaj7 C
I know that love's a gift, I thought yours was mine
Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 G
And something that I could keep
[Verse 4]
G
Now I realize
G Cmaj7
that time is not the only compromise
C Cmaj7 C
a bird in the hand could be an all night stand
Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 G
Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies
[Chorus]
C D
So I hope I'm not the kind
Em Em/F# G
To make you feel obliged to go
C D
ticking through your time
Em Em/F# G
With a pained look in your
C D
eyes, I covered the furniture,
G Em/F# Em
I framed the photographs
C Cmaj7 Cadd9
Went out to dinner one more time
C Cmaj7 Cadd9
Had myself a bottle of wine
Cadd9
and a couple of laughs
[Verse 5]
G
Just the other day
G Cmaj7
I got your letter in the mail
C Cmaj7 C
I'm happy for you, its been so long
Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 G
You've been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trail
[Vesre 6]
G
And I think that's great...me...
G Cmaj7
I seem to find myself in school
C Cmaj7 C
It's all Ok, I just want to say
Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 G
I'm so relieved we didn't do it cruel
[Verse 7]
G
But ain't life a brook
G Cmaj7
Just when I get to feeling like a polished stone
C Cmaj7 C
I give me a long drawn look
Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 G
It's kind of a drag to find yourself alone
[Verse 8]
G
And sometimes I mind
G Cmaj7
Especially when I'm waiting on your heart
C Cmaj7 C
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 G
It comes together and it comes apart
[Chorus]
C D
Cause I know you're not the kind
Em Em/F# G
To make me feel obliged to go
C D
ticking through my time
Em Em/F# G
with a pained look in my
C D
eyes, I sold the furniture,
G Em/F# Em
I put away the photographs
C Cmaj7 Cadd9
Went out to dinner one last time
C Cmaj7 Cadd9
had myself a bottle of wine
Cadd9
Had a couple of laughs
[Outro]
G Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 G
And wasn't it fine....
