[Verse 1]
G#
I watch you reading a book
G# C#maj7
I get to thinking our love's a polished stone
C# C#maj7 C#
You give me a long drawn look
C#maj7 C# C#maj7 G#
I know pretty soon you're going to leave our home
[Verse 2]

And of course I mind
G# C#maj7
Especially when I'm thinking from my heart
C# C#maj7 C#
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
C#maj7 C# C#maj7 G#
You come together and you come a - part
[Chorus]
C# D#
You say you hope I'm not the kind
Fm Fm/G G#
To make you feel obliged to go
C# D#
ticking through your time
Fm Fm/G G#
With a pained look in your
C# D#
eyes, You give me the furniture,
G# Fm/G Fm
we'll divide the photo graphs
C# C#maj7 Cadd9
Go out to dinner one more time
C# C#maj7 Cadd9
Have ourselves a bottle of wine
Cadd9
And a couple of laughs
[Verse 3]
G#
When first you left
G# C#maj7
I stayed so sad I wouldn't sleep
C# C#maj7 C#
I know that love's a gift, I thought yours was mine
C#maj7 C# C#maj7 G#
And something that I could keep
[Verse 4]
G#
Now I realize
G# C#maj7
that time is not the only compromise
C# C#maj7 C#
a bird in the hand could be an all night stand
C#maj7 C# C#maj7 G#
Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies
[Chorus]
C# D#
So I hope I'm not the kind
Fm Fm/G G#
To make you feel obliged to go
C# D#

Just the other day

I'm happy for you, its been so long
C#maj7 C# C#maj7 G#
You've been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trail
[Vesre 6]

I seem to find myself in school
C# C#maj7 C#
It's all Ok, I just want to say

I'm so relieved we didn't do it cruel
[Verse 7]

But ain't life a brook
G# C#maj7
Just when I get to feeling like a polished stone
C# C#maj7 C#
I give me a long drawn look
C#maj7 C# C#maj7 G#
It's kind of a drag to find yourself alone
[Verse 8]

And sometimes I mind
G# C#maj7
Especially when I'm waiting on your heart
C# C#maj7 C#
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
C#maj7 C# C#maj7 G#
It comes together and it comes apart
[Chorus]
C# D#
Cause I know you're not the kind
Fm Fm/G G#
To make me feel obliged to go
C# D#
ticking through my time
Fm Fm/G G#
with a pained look in my

eyes, I sold the furniture,
