[Verse 1]
F#
I watch you reading a book
F# Bmaj7
I get to thinking our love's a polished stone
B Bmaj7 B
You give me a long drawn look
Bmaj7 B Bmaj7 F#
I know pretty soon you're going to leave our home
[Verse 2]
F#
And of course I mind
F# Bmaj7
Especially when I'm thinking from my heart
B Bmaj7 B
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
Bmaj7 B Bmaj7 F#
You come together and you come a - part
[Chorus]
B C#
You say you hope I'm not the kind
D#m D#m/F F#
To make you feel obliged to go
B C#
ticking through your time
D#m D#m/F F#
With a pained look in your
B C#
eyes, You give me the furniture,
F# D#m/F D#m
we'll divide the photo graphs
B Bmaj7 Cadd9
Go out to dinner one more time
B Bmaj7 Cadd9
Have ourselves a bottle of wine
Cadd9
And a couple of laughs
[Verse 3]
F#
When first you left
F# Bmaj7
I stayed so sad I wouldn't sleep
B Bmaj7 B
I know that love's a gift, I thought yours was mine
Bmaj7 B Bmaj7 F#
And something that I could keep
[Verse 4]
F#
Now I realize
F# Bmaj7
that time is not the only compromise
B Bmaj7 B
a bird in the hand could be an all night stand
Bmaj7 B Bmaj7 F#
Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies
[Chorus]
B C#
So I hope I'm not the kind
D#m D#m/F F#
To make you feel obliged to go
B C#
ticking through your time
D#m D#m/F F#
With a pained look in your
B C#
eyes, I covered the furniture,
F# D#m/F D#m
I framed the photographs

Went out to dinner one more time
B Bmaj7 Cadd9
Had myself a bottle of wine
Cadd9
and a couple of laughs
[Verse 5]
F#
Just the other day
F# Bmaj7
I got your letter in the mail
B Bmaj7 B
I'm happy for you, its been so long
Bmaj7 B Bmaj7 F#
You've been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trail
[Vesre 6]
F#
And I think that's great...me...
F# Bmaj7
I seem to find myself in school
B Bmaj7 B
It's all Ok, I just want to say
Bmaj7 B Bmaj7 F#
I'm so relieved we didn't do it cruel
[Verse 7]
F#
But ain't life a brook
F# Bmaj7
Just when I get to feeling like a polished stone
B Bmaj7 B
I give me a long drawn look
Bmaj7 B Bmaj7 F#
It's kind of a drag to find yourself alone
[Verse 8]
F#
And sometimes I mind
F# Bmaj7
Especially when I'm waiting on your heart
B Bmaj7 B
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
Bmaj7 B Bmaj7 F#
It comes together and it comes apart
[Chorus]
B C#
Cause I know you're not the kind
D#m D#m/F F#
To make me feel obliged to go
B C#
ticking through my time
D#m D#m/F F#
with a pained look in my
B C#
eyes, I sold the furniture,
F# D#m/F D#m
I put away the photographs
