[Verse 1]
D
I watch you reading a book
D Gmaj7
I get to thinking our love's a polished stone
G Gmaj7 G
You give me a long drawn look
Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 D
I know pretty soon you're going to leave our home
[Verse 2]
D
And of course I mind
D Gmaj7
Especially when I'm thinking from my heart
G Gmaj7 G
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 D
You come together and you come a - part
[Chorus]
G A
You say you hope I'm not the kind
Bm Bm/C# D
To make you feel obliged to go
G A
ticking through your time
Bm Bm/C# D
With a pained look in your
G A
eyes, You give me the furniture,
D Bm/C# Bm
we'll divide the photo graphs
G Gmaj7 Cadd9
Go out to dinner one more time
G Gmaj7 Cadd9
Have ourselves a bottle of wine
Cadd9
And a couple of laughs
[Verse 3]
D
When first you left
D Gmaj7
I stayed so sad I wouldn't sleep
G Gmaj7 G
I know that love's a gift, I thought yours was mine
Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 D
And something that I could keep
[Verse 4]
D
Now I realize
D Gmaj7
that time is not the only compromise
G Gmaj7 G
a bird in the hand could be an all night stand
Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 D
Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies
[Chorus]
G A
So I hope I'm not the kind
Bm Bm/C# D
To make you feel obliged to go
G A
ticking through your time
Bm Bm/C# D
With a pained look in your
G A
eyes, I covered the furniture,
D Bm/C# Bm
I framed the photographs
G Gmaj7 Cadd9
Went out to dinner one more time
G Gmaj7 Cadd9
Had myself a bottle of wine
Cadd9
and a couple of laughs
[Verse 5]
D
Just the other day
D Gmaj7
I got your letter in the mail
G Gmaj7 G
I'm happy for you, its been so long
Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 D
You've been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trail
[Vesre 6]
D
And I think that's great...me...
D Gmaj7
I seem to find myself in school
G Gmaj7 G
It's all Ok, I just want to say
Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 D
I'm so relieved we didn't do it cruel
[Verse 7]
D
But ain't life a brook
D Gmaj7
Just when I get to feeling like a polished stone
G Gmaj7 G
I give me a long drawn look
Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 D
It's kind of a drag to find yourself alone
[Verse 8]
D
And sometimes I mind
D Gmaj7
Especially when I'm waiting on your heart
G Gmaj7 G
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 D
It comes together and it comes apart
[Chorus]
G A
Cause I know you're not the kind
Bm Bm/C# D
To make me feel obliged to go
G A
ticking through my time
Bm Bm/C# D
with a pained look in my
G A
eyes, I sold the furniture,
D Bm/C# Bm
I put away the photographs
G Gmaj7 Cadd9
Went out to dinner one last time
G Gmaj7 Cadd9
had myself a bottle of wine
Cadd9
Had a couple of laughs
