[ Предположительная тональность: F ] (chords played on off-beats, change on each measure - 4/4, 200bpm) Dm C Gm Bb He told me that I knew just what to laugh at Dm C Gm Bb and I wanted to but I just couldn't ask if he would take it back so F G Bb I could know for certain.. Dm C Gm Bb So on the bench I watched his left hand crossing Dm C Gm Bb while doubling entendres with the voicings. Dm C Gm Bb He said, "Oh darling, you're charming, Please don't find it alarming if I Dm C Gm Bb pull this stop out to free up a hand for heavy petting!" F Bb Now, there, there; F Bb I'm a friendly man. F Bb F I joke about sex because it's funny when you're Dm C Gm Bb frightened (ah, ah) Dm C Gm Bb (ah ah, ah ah) Dm C Gm Bb So silently I sat and turned the pages, Dm C Gm Bb recalculating our respective ages. Dm C Gm Bb Over my shoulder, he muttered, "If I get any older, you can Dm C Gm Bb hack my wrists off with your choice of objects, no, I'm kidding" F Bb Don't be scared; F Bb I'm a friendly man. F Bb F I joke about death because it's funny when you're Dm C Gm Bb frightened (ah, ah) Dm C Gm Bb (ah ah, ah ah) F Bbm F This is as far as I could get. Bb F He jabbed a needle in my neck, Bb F erasing all the evidence, Bb F but there were matchsticks in my pants, Bb F and if a rock should hit my head Bb F and I remember what he did, F F you'll be the very first to know. F F F Maybe I'll find out why this damn thing won't stop bleeding! (break) Dm C Gm Bb Dm C Gm Bb Dm C Gm Bb He told me that I showed a great potential, Dm C Gm Bb that given I turned heads and pages, fame would be a piece of cake F G Bb but practice was essential.. Dm C Gm Bb So like a stupid child I believed it Dm C Gm Bb and golly, who would ever had agreed if Dm C Gm Bb I had been Schubert or Mozart, devoted to the fine art of Dm C Gm Bb perfecting absolutely everything inconsequential. F Bb Don't be sad; F Bb I'll come back again. F Bb F I joke about trash 'cause it takes class to be Dm C Gm Bb enlightened (ah, ah) Dm C Gm Bb (ah ah, ah ah) F Bbm F So several decades have gone by. Bb F I am still sitting by his side. Bb F I turn the pages faithfully. Bb F He turns his head and smiles at me Bb F and with a wink he says, "I doubt F F we would be anywhere without F F F your gift for keeping truth and consequence from meeting.." (instrumental to end)
