Honey, lovin’ you is the greatest thing,

And you’re the funny little frog in my throat.

My eyesight’s fading, my hearing’s dim,

I can’t get insured for the state I’m in,

I’m a danger to myself I’ve been starting fights,

At the party at the club on a Saturday night,

She gets all the highlights wrapped in pearls.

Em7 A7
I had a conversation with you last night,
D A
It was a little one sided but that’s all right,
Em7 A7
I tell you in the kitchen about my day,
D A
You sit on the bed in the dark changing place,
Em7 A7
With the ghost that was there before you came,
F#m7 B7
You’ve come to save my,my life again.
Bm
I don’t dare to touch your hand,
Bbaug
I don’t dare to think of you,
D/A
In a physical way,
E7/G#
And I don’t know how you smell,
G D
You are the cover of my magazine,
G D
You’re my fashion tip, a living museum,
G D
I’d pay to visit you on rainy Sundays,
G D
And maybe tell you all about it, someday.
