[Verse 1]
F
I watch you reading a book
F A#maj7
I get to thinking our love's a polished stone
A# A#maj7 A#
You give me a long drawn look
A#maj7 A# A#maj7 F
I know pretty soon you're going to leave our home
[Verse 2]
F
And of course I mind
F A#maj7
Especially when I'm thinking from my heart
A# A#maj7 A#
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
A#maj7 A# A#maj7 F
You come together and you come a - part
[Chorus]
A# C
You say you hope I'm not the kind
Dm Dm/E F
To make you feel obliged to go
A# C
ticking through your time
Dm Dm/E F
With a pained look in your
A# C
eyes, You give me the furniture,
F Dm/E Dm
we'll divide the photo graphs
A# A#maj7 Cadd9
Go out to dinner one more time
A# A#maj7 Cadd9
Have ourselves a bottle of wine
Cadd9
And a couple of laughs
[Verse 3]
F
When first you left
F A#maj7
I stayed so sad I wouldn't sleep
A# A#maj7 A#
I know that love's a gift, I thought yours was mine
A#maj7 A# A#maj7 F
And something that I could keep
[Verse 4]
F
Now I realize
F A#maj7
that time is not the only compromise
A# A#maj7 A#
a bird in the hand could be an all night stand
A#maj7 A# A#maj7 F
Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies
[Chorus]
A# C
So I hope I'm not the kind
Dm Dm/E F
To make you feel obliged to go
A# C
ticking through your time
Dm Dm/E F
With a pained look in your
A# C
eyes, I covered the furniture,
F Dm/E Dm
I framed the photographs
A# A#maj7 Cadd9
Went out to dinner one more time
A# A#maj7 Cadd9
Had myself a bottle of wine
Cadd9
and a couple of laughs
[Verse 5]
F
Just the other day
F A#maj7
I got your letter in the mail
A# A#maj7 A#
I'm happy for you, its been so long
A#maj7 A# A#maj7 F
You've been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trail
[Vesre 6]
F
And I think that's great...me...
F A#maj7
I seem to find myself in school
A# A#maj7 A#
It's all Ok, I just want to say
A#maj7 A# A#maj7 F
I'm so relieved we didn't do it cruel
[Verse 7]
F
But ain't life a brook
F A#maj7
Just when I get to feeling like a polished stone
A# A#maj7 A#
I give me a long drawn look
A#maj7 A# A#maj7 F
It's kind of a drag to find yourself alone
[Verse 8]
F
And sometimes I mind
F A#maj7
Especially when I'm waiting on your heart
A# A#maj7 A#
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
A#maj7 A# A#maj7 F
It comes together and it comes apart
[Chorus]
A# C
Cause I know you're not the kind
Dm Dm/E F
To make me feel obliged to go
A# C
ticking through my time
Dm Dm/E F
with a pained look in my
A# C
eyes, I sold the furniture,
F Dm/E Dm
I put away the photographs
A# A#maj7 Cadd9
Went out to dinner one last time
A# A#maj7 Cadd9
had myself a bottle of wine
Cadd9
Had a couple of laughs
[Outro]
F A#maj7 A# A#maj7 A# A#maj7 A# A#maj7 F
And wasn't it fine....
