                      G
Well, I'm finding it harder to be
   A#       F      G
a gentleman every day,
         A#
All the manners that
           F                        G
I've been taught have slowly died away.
          F
But if I held the door open
for you it wouldn't make your day.

You think that
I care about me and only me,
When every single girl needs help
climbing up a tree.
And I know it don't take much to satisfy me.

G A# F A# A G
          G A# F A# A G

C
Maybe it's whatever's
       A#                      G
in my hand that's distracting me.
       A#                            C
But if I could find the emotion to stimulate
                          D
devotion well then you'd see.

G A# F A# A G
          G A# F A# A G

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 and visit us,
and tell us which one is sane.

G A# F A# A G
          G A# F A# A G

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.
