[Intro]
Db C Eb F Gb F C
[Verse 1]
Db F
We've seen her type before
Eb F
Sandals and the hair
Gb F
They fall in love with big dumb boys
C
And we sit and stare
Bbm F
So, we walk the long way home
Eb F
Glasses in our hands
Bb F
When the last of the ice is eaten
C
Throw them as far as we can
[Chorus]
Db F
There's a problem, there's no sleepy girl
A7 Dm
To wrap you in her loving arms
Bb
There's a lizard on the doorstep
Bb Db
But there is music in my head
C Eb F Gb F C
[Verse 2]
Db F
We put the world on hold
Eb F
Two young men growing old
Gb F
We talk of years like lost weekends
C
And the harbor shrugs
Bbm F
Because friends are getting fewer
Eb F
And we vow life will be fuller
Bb F
But if the last of our dreams is broken
C
We'll walk the same way home
[Chorus]
Db F
There's a problem, there's no sleepy girl
A7 Dm
To wrap you in her loving arms
Bbm F
There's no sleepy girl
A7 Dm
To wrap you in her loving arms
Bb
There's a lizard on the doorstep
F
And there is music in my head
Bb
There's a gold star on your forehead
But there is trouble up ahead
Db F Eb F
Charlie, what'll become of us?
Gb F Gb F
I had my dreams for both of us, for both of us
Db C Eb F Gb F C7
Bbm F
You might be unworthy
Eb F
But you remember what I remember
Gb F
And that's enough to care
C F
You don't fall off the rails
