[Em]Civil[G]ization, its [D]all about knives and forks
[A]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Isn't she here?
What [Gdim]time is it now?
Is [Ebdim]this the right place? Do I
[Aaug]fit with her[B] crowd?
[Em]I'm gonna [G]be a civ[Em]il iz[G]ed
man someday
[D][Aaug]

[Verse 3]

[Em]Part of me wants to tear it [Bm]down
I [Em]thought you [Bm]might [Em]prefer [Bm]the
[A]cabernet

[Verse 4]
Civilization, its [Gdim]all about sex

[D]The waiter loo[Gm]ks me over
[D]Would you like cre[E]am or sugar?
[D]I don't know - w[Gm]hat was
I supposed to [A]say

Her plate [Gm]is full,
she has[Bb]n't eaten all d[A]ay

[Verse 7]
Glasses collect we [Gdim]order
some [Gm]booze
[Ebdim]She looks at me,
[A]I stare at [B]her shoes[Bm]
[Em]Mature situ[G]ations,
[Em]maybe [G]a broken heart
[D][Aaug]

[Verse 8]
[Em]Maybe I ought [A]to pay [Bm]the bill
[Em]Maybe she [G]thinks [Em]I nev[A]er wil[Bm]l
A mil[Em]lion thing[Bm]s that cr[Em]oss
[Bm]a woman's mi[A]nd

[Verse 9]
Just be yourself,
well [Gdim]that's what they say

guy someday
[D][Aaug]

[Verse 10]
[D]Good friends and con[Gm]versations

I drew a big gorilla
