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
