Verse 1
                    [G]
Well I?m finding it harder
        [Bb]      [F]   [G]  [F][G]
to be a gentleman every day
        [Bb]                   [F]
All the manners that I?ve been taught
                 [G]  [F][G]
have slowly died away
[F]
But if I held the door open for you
                   [G]
it would make your day


Chorus

[G] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [A] [G]
[G] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [A] [G]


Verse 2
[G][F][G]
[G]
You think that I care
     [Bb]    [F] [G]  [F][G]
about me and only me
     [Bb]                    [F]
When every single girl needs help
              [G]  [F][G]
climbing up a tree
[F]
Well I know I don?t take much
          [G]
to satisfy me


Chorus


Verse 3
[C]                         [Bb]
Maybe it?s whatever?s in my hand
                  [G]
that?s distracting me
[Bb]
But if I could find emotion
   [C]
to stimulate devotion
                [D]
well then you?d see


Chorus


Verse 4
Well I?m finding it hard to say
that I need you twenty times a day
I feel comfortable so baby why
don?t you feel the same?
Have a doctor come visit us
and tell us which one is sane


Verse 5
Well I never said I wouldn?t
throw my jacket in the mud for you
but my father gave it to me so
maybe I should carry you
then you said
?you almost dropped me?
so then I did
and I got mud on my shoes
