VERSE 1

(Dsus2/A)
Where can a sick man go?

When he can't choke down the medicine, the old doc knows?

(Dsus2/Bb)
A specialist came to town, but he stays at home, sayin'

(D7sus4/G)
No one knows so I don't, Honey, when in Rome.


VERSE 2

(Dsus2/A)
Where can a teacher go?

Wherever she thinks people need the things she knows.

(Dsus2/Bb)
Hey, those books you gave us look good on the shelves at home,

                 (D7sus4/G)
And they'll burn warm in the fireplace, Teacher, when in Rome.


BRIDGE

(F6/Bb)                                     (C/G)
Grab a blanket, sister, we'll make smoke signals.

(F6/Bb)                                                    (C/G)
Bring in some new blood it feels like we're alone.

(F6/Bb)                                        (C/G)
Grab a blanket, brother, so we don't catch cold from one,

  (F6/Bb)                              (C/G)     (Dsus2/A)
another I wonder if we're stuck in Rome.


VERSE 3

(Dsus2/A)
Where can a dead man go?

A question with an answer only dead men know.

(Dsus2/Bb)
But I'm gonna bet they never really feel at home,

         (D7sus4/G)
If they spend a lifetime learning how to live in Rome.
