F               Bb        F
If I could just get it on paper

Bb                          
The things that have happened 
  F
tonight

Bb                      F
But that seems to me to be the big 
key

           G                       
I'm havin' too good a time to ever 
C
turn Out the lights.

F              Bb        F
Go to bed wake up eith a clear head

F              Bb        F
Recalling what made it a ball

Bb                        F
If I could just get it on paper

C                             F

The funny way most things begin

Bb                             F
Figure ways to disguse all the half 
truths and lies

         G                         
Find the heart of my song with the 
C
point of a pen

F                Bb         
Simple words can become clever 
   F
phrases

F                  Bb        F
And chapters could turn into books

Bb                            F
Yes if I could just get it on paper

C                            F
But it's harder than it ever looks.



INSTRUMENTAL


F                Bb          F
All alone in the edge of the water

Bb                          F
Hidin' out by the Sea of Cortez

Bb                            
With my sketch pads and Flairs, 
            F
tapes and battery spares

          G                     
It's just no comprehendo to what 
 C
everyone says

F                    Bb           
Time alone seemed to work well for 
 F
Faulkner

Time away seems to work for the kid

Life and ink they run out at the 
F
same time

C                            F
Or so said my old friend the squid

Bb                            F
Yes if I could just get it on paper 
tonight

C                             F
I could tell you what I think I did.
