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