Verse 1
[[G]]
Well I’m finding it harder
[[A#]] [[F]] [[G]] [[F]][[G]]
to be a gentleman every day
[[A#]] [[F]]
All the manners that I’ve been taught
[[G]] [[F]][[G]]
have slowly died away
[[F]]
But if I held the door open for you
[[G]]
it would make your day
Chorus
[[G]] [[A#]] [[F]] [[A#]] [[A]] [[G]]
[[G]] [[A#]] [[F]] [[A#]] [[A]] [[G]]
Verse 2
[[G]][[F]][[G]]
[[G]]
You think that I care
[[A#]] [[F]] [[G]] [[F]][[G]]
about me and only me
[[A#]] [[F]]
When every single girl needs help
[[G]] [[F]][[G]]
climbing up a tree
[[F]]
Well I know I don’t take much
[[G]]
to satisfy me
Chorus
Verse 3
[[C]] [[A#]]
Maybe it’s whatever’s in my hand
[[G]]
that’s distracting me
[[A#]]
But if I could find emotion
[[C]]
to stimulate devotion
[[D]]
well then you’d see
Chorus
Verse 4
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 visit us
and tell us which one is sane
Verse 5
Well 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
