C    G           C          G 
You say she's a very good friend 
      F#             F#      F   F 
Circumstances I should understand 
         C          G              C        G 
But like recurring tide she comes on to you 
             F#                 F# 
And looks as though she's looking for a man 
Esus           E            Am7    Am7 
  Honey, don't make yourself so available 
Abm          Gm                F7M     F7M    Fm {hold} 
  My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable 
 

               G         G           Am  Am 
Still, all in all, I foresee my own fall 
         G           G   F#   F   G     C  G  C   G  F#  F F# F  F  Bb  B 
But I've climbed too far to drop,  so stop  {repeat intro chords} 
 
I know it's your ego puts the smile on your face 

Because you know you got your options open 

She's a beguiling snake, and she'll keep what she takes 

When she leaves you, I'll be the one coping 

Honey, don't make yourself so available 

My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable 
 

                      G          G            Am7  Am7 
Still, through and through I can see clean through you 
           G              G    F#  F   G      C   C   C7  C7    
I know you like to be the one on top,  but stop 
 

         F7M   F7M  C7M  C7M 
You will miss my conversation 
            F        G      C - Csus  C 
When you're talking to yourself 
          Am             Am 
You'll be thumbing for advice through the 
Em           E7             Am 
Pages of the novels on your shelf 
Am               Abm          Gm              F7M  F7M    Fm {hold} 
Honey, don't you see our love together is the very  best  bet 
 
Put your focus on me and I'll forgive and forget 
Throw away your hidden ace, you clever man; take my hand 
 
Well you needn't play the part of your image 
This is not a one act play we're living 
As long as I'm here the situation is clear 
It'll be fifty/fifty take and giving 
Honey don't you see a lifetime's not much to ask 
Take off your costume and remove your mask 
 
If yes is what you will say, we're gonna start from today 
Gonna take it to the very top; never stop
