[Intro 1]
[D][Gm][D][D][Gm]
[Bb][A]

[Verse 1]
Some
where between [Gdim]the darkness and light
[Ebdim]Faces all glow but its[Adim] not too bri[B]ght[Bm]
[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 jump and [Bm]shout
[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
[Ebdim]Havin' a ball in a padded ba[B]nquet[Bm]
[Em]I'm gonna [G]be that [Em]really cool
[G]guy someday
[D][Aaug]

[Verse 5]
[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

[Verse 6]
[D]She wonders if [Gm]I'll notice
[D]I should have brought some ros[D]es
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
[Ebdim]I barely know who I
was yes[B]terday[Bm]
[Em]I'm gonn[G]a be that civilized
guy someday
[D][Aaug]

[Verse 10]
[D]Good friends and con[Gm]versations
[D]The rise and fal[E]l of nations[D]
A moments [G]glory an[D]d
they've [G]had their [A]day

[Verse 11]
[D]And on my high school folder
I drew a big gorilla
[D]Something famil[Gm]iar,
something [Bb]far, far [A]away

[Verse 12]
Somewhere between
[Gdim]the darkness and light
She [Ebdim]touches my hand,
she [Adim]don't seem t[B]o mind[Bm]

[Verse 13]
[Em]We can g[G]o home, we can b[G]e civilized
[D]
