Grown Man by Loudon Wainwright III
Grown Man
G G
You got a grown man for a boyfriend,
C G
So you better treat him just like a baby.
D C
He's a saint on Sunday, he's a bum on Monday;
D C
The rest of the week he's just crazy.
G
He's unpredictable, like an animal,
C G
Proud as an eagle, big and strong like a bear;
D C
He's a snake and a frog, he's a pig and a dog;
C D
There's a menagerie that's living in there.
G
You'll be his princess--forever after, yes--
C G
If you keep acting like you're always sixteen.
D C
He is the king, ruling the kingdom's his thing;
c D (don't you forget it)
Just remember his mother is queen.
interlude A-----D--A E D----E You can pick these chords however you like.
A
Sometimes he fools around when he goes out of town
D A
But sooner or later he's bound to get caught.
E D
He loves coming home, but then he has to roam;
D E
Mr. Ambivalence is the guy that you've got.
A
He's got some problems--no, you can't solve them--
D A
He's got some goblins he can't exorcise.
E D
Mostly he wants to cry, he's afraid to die,
D E
But he's living life like it's a booby prize.
A
He wishes he were young, a little better hung,
D A
And he's paranoid you feel that way too;
E D
So reassure him, you'll never cure him,
D E
But he still needs his daily dose of you.
Repeat Chorus..... to end
