Verse

Well, I'm finding it harder to be a gentleman every day, 
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.

Break

                 
                 

Verse

You think that I care about me and only me, 
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.

Break

                 
                 

Verse

C (one strum, let ring) Bb (one strum, let ring) G
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.

Break

                 
                 

Verse

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?
F (one strum, let ring) N.C
Have a doctor come and visit us, and tell us which one is sane.

Break

                 
                 

Verse

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.
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.
