G5               C5
New front door, same address
 G5
Same front step, same back-porch
 A5
Geraniums to the terrace
 G5                C5
Sold my shoes to pay the rent
D5                       E5
I won't be needing them
D5                      E5
I won't be leaving too soon


G5           C5
Oh my dear, do undress
G5                        A5
You look so different in those new shoes
           G5                C5
To impress someone you have never met
D5                   E5
Someone you already know
   D5                       E5
Is waiting behind my front door


    G5               D5
And by the door you know I'll wait
    E5             C5           G5
Oh, by the window, by the gate
    D5                E5    C5
I'm waiting for your sound


   G5                   D5
So softly, dear, don't hesitate
    E5         C5              G5
The lion looms along the lake
    D5              E5    C5
And swallows every sound
    G5                       C5
But oh, I wish that I could take
                   G5
That simple lonely way
                      C5
That long cold lonely way
                        D5 
But these days it takes more than two feet
         C5 
It takes four to fill the road
  G5                         D5
I fend and swing the axe at for


     G5             D5
I've trampled all over the place
    E5               C5          G5
Swung to and fro and still no state
    D5              E5     C5
Has held me in its bounds


    G5                 D5
But by the bridge I'd like to stay
    E5            C5       G5
Oh, by the ocean, by the bay
    D5                      E5    C5
And hope that you'll come around


G5            C5
Oh, my dear, do undress
G5                        A5
You look so different in those new clothes
           G5               C5
To impress someone you have never met
D5                    E5
I'm the one needing you
D5                   E5
I'm the one with no shoes


   G5               D5
So by the door you know I'll wait
    E5              C5        G5
Oh, looking out the golden gate
    D5              E5        C5   E5
She yawns into the morning...
