The Mater

G                                  
I fell into you in the shadow of 
Em
the staircase
C                     D
Washed my hands of you in the 
kitchen sink
G                             Em
And in that house I knew we'd never 
close this distance
C                     D
You said baby, we are closer than 
you think
G                       Em
So I made love to the idea of your 
involvement
C                    D
And the conversation we had in the 
dark
G                              Em
You said you'd never judge the way I
 solve my problems
C                       D
Then you left me in the garden 
talking art


[Chorus]
C                           Em   
I just wished we laughed in time,
        D
 that's all
C                           Em   
I just wished we laughed in time,
        C
 that's all
G
That's all

[Verse 2]
G                            Em
Fell out of my soft head the night 
we left The Mater
C                    D
Bravo maestro, never seen the sky so
 pink
G                           Em
Fell into your soft bed and stayed 
the morning after
C                     D
I said, "Baby, we are colder than we
 think"
G                       Em
So I made love to the idea of your 
approval
C                     D
And the conversations we had with 
our hands
G                      Em
I don't go in for that sort of 
thing, I told you
C                          D
Then I sang, "Stand By Your Man"


[Chorus]
C                           Em   
I just wished we laughed in time,
        D
 that's all
C                           Em   
I just wished we laughed in time,
        C
 that's all
G
That's all


[Verse 3]
G                                
I should have told you then that I 
Em
had slipped you on inside my head
C                        D
There are bits of you in every 
journey home
G                        Em
Is it so bad, I like the way I look 
from your side of the bed
C                      D
You said baby, did you think I 
didn't know?
G                           Em
Still, I made love to the idea of 
our collusion
C                    D
And the conversation we had on the 
floor
G                       Em
While the backroom boys earned our 
disapproval
C                       D
Come on David, sing one more


[Chorus]
C                           Em   
I just wished we laughed in time,
        D
 that's all
C                           Em   
I just wished we laughed in time,
        C
 that's all
G
That's all
