A E A E
A
It's a green-striped sheet lifted from me
B A
I am free of two very heavy bodies
A F#m
Once we three had slept soundly
D B
I couldn't keep them around
B
Fold the blankets down and
E A
Found new sleeping ground
A
Bed-springs squeaking
E A
Tires squealing away from one another
E
We all used to be lovers here
A E
Bodies laying say they'll stay just
A
Like boxes stacked the same way
E
Labeled and separated
[Chorus]
E
Go ahead take the couch
A
I know I don't wanna sit here next to nobody
E
Go ahead take the fridge
A
I know I don't want you going hungry yeah
E
Go ahead take the cat
A
I know you're only gonna be coming back so
D
Go ahead take it all
E D
I know you've been wanting to
B A E
Settle down has it always been
B D
Settlin' down
E
One on the left says to the one on the right
A
I could make a very good wife for you
E
One on the right says to the one on the left
A E A
Let's take this one step at a time
E A
One on the right says to the one on the left you know
E A
I need you all the time
E A
One on the right says to the one on the left
E C#m
I think I changed my mind
B
My insides sing
(x3)
E
A song for the sad ones
E
Who say they'll marry they guess
A
She's wearin' the white dress if he behaves his very best
E A
Yes
[Chorus]
(x3)
C#m
My elastic steel and spring
B
They will tell you everything
A
If you lay down for a minute
(x6)
C#m B
The mattress makers makin' his living
A
By the minute by the minute
