[Verse 1]
                      G
I watch you reading a book
G                 Cmaj7
I get to thinking our love's a 
polished stone
               C   Cmaj7  C
You give me a long drawn look
Cmaj7         C                  
I know pretty soon you're going 
      Cmaj7 G
to leave our home

[Verse 2]
               G
And of course I mind
G                 Cmaj7
Especially when I'm thinking from my
 heart
                C            Cmaj7
But life don't clickety clack down
    C
 a straight line track
Cmaj7      C                  
You come together and you come
Cmaj7  G
 a  -  part

[Chorus]
       C                     D
You say you hope I'm not the kind
             Em     Em/F# G
To make you feel obliged  to go
C                    D
ticking through your time
        Em         Em/F# G
With a pained look in    your
 C                     D
eyes, You give me the furniture,
       G         Em/F#   Em
we'll divide the photo  graphs
           C      Cmaj7    Cadd9
Go out to dinner one more time
           C            Cmaj7   
Have ourselves a bottle of     
Cadd9
wine
 Cadd9
And a couple of laughs

[Verse 3]
               G
When first you left
G           Cmaj7
I stayed so sad I wouldn't sleep
            C        Cmaj7    C
I know that love's a gift, I thought
 yours was mine

Cmaj7    C               Cmaj7 G
And     something that I could keep

[Verse 4]
          G
Now I realize
G                    Cmaj7
that time is not the only compromise
              C                   
a bird in the hand could be an all
Cmaj7    C
 night  stand
       Cmaj7      C           
Between a blazing fire and a 
Cmaj7     G
pocket of skies

[Chorus]
     C                D
So I hope I'm not the kind
             Em     Em/F# G
To make you feel obliged  to go
C                    D
ticking through your time
        Em         Em/F# G
With a pained look in    your
 C                     D
eyes, I covered the furniture,
    G         Em/F#   Em
I framed the photographs
           C      Cmaj7    Cadd9
Went out to dinner one more time
     C            Cmaj7   Cadd9
Had myself a bottle of   wine
Cadd9
and a couple of laughs

[Verse 5]
               G
Just the other day
G           Cmaj7
I got your letter in the mail
              C        Cmaj7    C
I'm happy for you, its been so long
          Cmaj7        C          
You've been wanting a cabin and a 
   Cmaj7   G
backwoods trail

[Vesre 6]
                   G
And I think that's great...me...
G         Cmaj7
I seem to find myself in school
          C        Cmaj7    C
It's all Ok, I just want to say
 Cmaj7      C              Cmaj7  
I'm so relieved we didn't do it   
 G
cruel

[Verse 7]
                   G
But ain't life a brook
 G                Cmaj7
Just when I get to feeling like a 
polished stone
             C   Cmaj7  C
I give me a long drawn look
  Cmaj7        C              
It's kind of a drag to find 
Cmaj7   G
yourself alone

[Verse 8]
                G
And sometimes I mind
  G                Cmaj7
Especially when I'm waiting on your 
heart
                C      Cmaj7      
But life don't clickety clack down
    C
 a straight line track
  Cmaj7    C              Cmaj7   G
It comes together and it comes apart

[Chorus]
         C                  D
Cause I know you're not the kind
             Em     Em/F# G
To make me feel obliged  to go
C                    D
ticking through my time
        Em         Em/F# G
with a pained look in   my
  C                     D
eyes, I sold the furniture,
       G         Em/F#   Em
I put away the photographs
             C      Cmaj7    Cadd9
Went out to dinner one last time
      C      Cmaj7      Cadd9
had myself a bottle of wine
Cadd9
Had a couple of laughs

[Otro]
                G         Cmaj7   
And wasn't it fine....
