G Bb F G
Well, I'm finding it harder to be a gentleman every day,
Bb5 F G
All the manners that I've been taught have slowly died away.
F (one strum, let ring) N.C
But if I held the door open for you it wouldn't make your day.

G G G G G G G G G Bb F Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 A5 G
G Bb F G
You think that I care about me and only me,
Bb5 F G
When every single girl needs help climbing up a tree.
F (one strum, let ring) N.C
And I know it don't take much to satisfy me.

Maybe it's whatever's in my hand that's distracting me.
Bb (one strum, let ring) C (one strum, let ring) D5
But if I could find the emotion to stimulate devotion well then you'd see.

Well I'm finding it hard to say that I need you twenty times a day,
Bb F G
I feel comfortable so baby why don't you feel the same?
F (one strum, let ring) N.C
Have a doctor come and visit us, and tell us which one is sane.

I never said I wouldn't throw my jacket in the mud for you,
Bb F G
But my father gave it to me so maybe I should carry you.
F (one strum, let ring) N.C
Then you said you almost dropped me so then I did,
G* (slow strum)
And I got mud on my shoes.
