Verse 1

                    [G]

Well I’m finding it harder
        [A#]      [F]   [G]  [F][G]
to be a gentleman every day
        [A#]                   [F]
All the manners that I’ve been taught
                 [G]  [F][G]
have slowly died away

[F]

But if I held the door open for you

                   [G]

it would make your day


Chorus

[G] [A#] [F] [A#] [A] [G]
[G] [A#] [F] [A#] [A] [G]


Verse 2
[G][F][G]

[G]

You think that I care
     [A#]    [F] [G]  [F][G]
about me and only me
     [A#]                    [F]
When every single girl needs help
              [G]  [F][G]
climbing up a tree

[F]

Well I know I don’t take much

          [G]

to satisfy me


Chorus


Verse 3
[C]                         [A#]
Maybe it’s whatever’s in my hand

                  [G]

that’s distracting me

[A#]

But if I could find emotion

   [C]

to stimulate devotion

                [D]

well then you’d see


Chorus


Verse 4
Well I’m finding it hard to say
that I need you twenty times a day
I feel comfortable so baby why
don’t you feel the same?
Have a doctor come visit us
and tell us which one is sane


Verse 5
Well I never said I wouldn’t
throw my jacket in the mud for you
but my father gave it to me so
maybe I should carry you
then you said
“you almost dropped me”
so then I did
and I got mud on my shoes
