I never met a lady
[C]Quite as [Bb]pretty as Melody Dean
[F]And when I laid my head down on her
[C]heart it [Bb]beated out your name
[F]And so I had to
[C]listen to her
[Bb]heart beat several hundred times and
[F]She was very
[C]nice about it
[Bb]Held my hand and didn't mind
[F]I never put my foot in the same
[C]River twi[Bb]ce I don't like getting wet
[F]You take the good you take the bad
[C]You take [Bb]it all and that is all you get
[F]The fact is you would rather I be
[C]lonely in[Bb] a bathtub with a book
[F]The fact is you would rather I sat
[C]Pining on[Bb] our pictures from New York
New York, New York, New York
But
[F]I [C]ge[Bb]t torn to pieces
[F]Fo[C]r [Bb]the stupidest reasons
[F]Al[C]l [Bb]I want's to love the one I'm with
Just like the song says
[F]I don't like picking sides I don't like
[C]Sticking [Bb]my Sharona in a box
[F]I like to spread her out on different
[C]Crackers,[Bb] yeah I like the way she looks
[F]And when I go to bed at night with
[C]Me[Bb]lody undressing in my head
[F]To get tot sleep you know that I would
[C]Rather be[Bb] undressing you instead
Instead, instead, instead
[F]I never met a lady quite as
[C]Pretty as Melody Dean and
[Bb]Even though I know you are a little bit angry with me
[F]You know that it is you I love
[C]And you I want to get me off
[Bb]But you can only do that when you're here
And right now you are not
[F]
(Instrumental break follows the exact same pattern)
[F]I never cross the Continental
[C]Divide wi[Bb]thout thinking about you
[F]I am a tree that's carved up with her
[C]Name she [Bb]is a warrior tattoo
[F]And the fact is you're selective about
[C]what you [Bb]can remember for a start
[F]The fact is you're just jealous as all
[C]Get out w[Bb]e can do it in the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark
But
[F]I [C]ge[Bb]t torn to pieces
[F]Fo[C]r [Bb]the stupidest reasons
[F]Al[C]l [Bb]I want's to love the one I'm with
Just like Steven Stills says
[F]I never met a lady quite as
