F# E Ebm
Lydia keeps my toothbrush in her apartment and she never complains.
E F#
Well, hardly ever. And then jokingly she says
E Ebm
Boy, it's been so long since I held you, I nearly gave you up for dead.
E
I nearly gave you up for dead.
C#m C#
I nearly gave you up for dead.
Chorus:
F# B
Lydia, Lydia how come you understand?
E
I can offer you nothing at all.
Ebm C#sus4 - C#
This is more than I had planned.
F# B E
Lydia, Lydia I am at your command, at least until morning comes,
G#m
Then, I must be off again.
D E F#
I must be off again

F# E
Lydia, you know I always talk about making conscious decisions
Ebm
About running my own life.
E F#
Well, maybe I'm fooling myself, it's a role I like to play.
E
Because more often than not I'm down here on the corner.
Ebm
I'm sorry I woke you.
E
Do you feel like some company?
C#m C# F#
Babe, I need a place to stay.
Repeat chorus

Repeat chorus
F# E
I sleep with a woman who thinks I'm a child.
Ebm
Well, maybe I am.
E
No, that wouldn't surprise anyone.
F#
I suspect that much is true.
E Ebm
But, Lydia, if you only knew how much I love you.
E
Did you know that I love you?
C#m C#
It's the best that I can do.
