intro: C Gm Am F G


C                      Gm
Patiently, I've waited patiently
       Am         F          G
Hoping that you'd believe
C        Gm            Am
That the lights in our eyes
                F         G
Are not fading out

They're not yet fading out
Somehow we're safe and sound
Like the glow off the shore
We will hurry

C                  F7
What could I ever do?
C               G7
What could I say?
C                     F7
To cover up my concerns?
C                  G7
To keep them at bay?

C              F7
Oh, then she said,
C                                G7
"You spend too much time in your head"
C                 F7
What could I ever do?
C                   G7
What could I say so carefully?

Carefully, I followed carefully
Too scared of a scraped knee
So I wait on the sand
With her Coppertone

Yeah, she put on Coppertone
And went out there all alone
Never one to be scared or to worry

What could I ever do?
What could I say?
To cover up my concerns?
To keep them at bay?

Oh, then she said,
"You spend too much time in your head"
What could I ever do?
What could I say so carefully?

What could I ever do?
Oh, what could I say?
To cover up my concerns?
To keep them at bay?

Oh, then she said,
"You spend too much time in your head"
What could I ever do?
Oh, what could I say so carefully?

(instrumental)

What could I ever do?
Oh, what could I say?
To cover up my concerns?
To keep them at bay?

Oh, then she said,
"You spend too much time in your head"
What could I ever do?
Oh, what could I say so carefully?
