[Verse 1]
[Am]He told me that I knew [G]what to laugh [Dm]at
[F]And I wanted to [Am]but I just[G] couldn't ask if h[Dm]e
[F]would take it back so I [C]could know [Dm]for c[F]ertain
So on [Am]the bench I watched
[G]his left [Dm]hand crossing
[F]While doublin[Am]g entendres
[G]with [Dm]the v[F]oicings
He said [Am]"O darling,
you're charm[G]ing
[Dm]Please don't find it alarm[F]ing if I pull [Am]this stop
[G]out to [Dm]free up a hand [F]for heavy petting"
[C]Now there [F]there

[Verse 2]
I'm [C]a friendly [F]man
[C]I joke about sex b[F]ecause i[C]t's funny
when [Am]you're frightene[G]d

[Verse 3]
[Dm]So s[F]ilen[Am]tly [G]I s[Dm]at[F][Am]
[G]and turned [Gsus4]the pages[Dm][F]
[Am]Recalculating our re s[G]pective ages[Dm]
[F]Over [Am]my shoulder, [G]he muttered,
[Dm]"If I get [F]any older
You [Am]can hack my wrists [G]off with
[Gsus4]your choice [Dm]of objects
No, [F]I'm kidding"
Don't [C]be [F]scared [C]I'm

[Verse 4]
a friendly man
[F]I jok[C]e about death bec[F]ause it's funny whe[C]n you're
[Am]frightene[G] d[Gsus4][Dm][F][Am][G][Dm]
[F]Thi[C]s is as far

[Verse 5]
[Fm]as I could get
[C]He jabbed a needle [F]in [C]my neck
Erasing all [F]the evidence
[C]But there [F]were matchsticks in my pants
[C]And if a rock [F]should hit my head
[C]And I remem[F]ber what he did
[C]You'll be the very [F]first to know
[C]Maybe I'll find out why this damn thing won't stop bleeding
[Am][G][Gsus4][Dm][F][Am][G][Gsus4][Dm]

[Verse 6]
[F]He told [Am]me that I showed
[G]a great [Gsus4]poten tia[Dm]l
[F]Tha[Am]t given I turned hea[G]ds and pages
Fame [Dm]would be [F]a piece of cake
[C]But practice [Dm]was e[F]ssential
So like [Am]a stupid [G]child I [Dm]believed it
[F]And golly who[Am] would had [G]agre[Dm]ed if
[F]I had been Schuber[Am]t or Mozar[G]t
Devoted [Dm]to t[F]he fine art of perfectin[Am]g abso[G]lutely
[Gsus4]everythin[Dm]g inconsequentia[F]l

[Verse 7]
Don't [C]be sad
[F]I'll com[C]e back again
[F]I jok[C]e about trash 'ca[F]use it takes class to [C]be
[Am]en l[G]ightene [Dm]d[F][Am][G][Dm]
[F]So [C]several decade[F]s have gone by

[Verse 8]
[C]
I am still sitting [F]by his side
[C]I turn the pages [F]faithfully
[C]He turns his head [F]and smiles [C]at me
And with a wink [F]he says, "I doubt
[C]We would be any[F]where without
[C]Your gift for keeping truth and consequence from meeting"
