G5                  F5
 I'm undecided about you again
G5                      C5
 Mightn't be right that you're not here
C5                          D5
 It's double-sided 'cause I ruined it all
         D5                                Bb5   Bb5
-But also saved myself by never believing you, Dear

Everything good I deem too good to be true
Everything else is just a bore
Everything I have to look forward to
Has a pretty painful and very imposing before

Chorus: (twice)
D5         A5              E5                  E5 - Eb5 - D5
O' sailor why'd you do it -What'd you do that for?
D5              A5            G5
Saying there's nothing to it -And lettin' it go by the boards

I have too been playing with fifty-two cards
-Just 'cause I play so far from my vest
Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard
What could I do, but spend my best

[Chorus (twice)]

Ab5    Ab5                      C5
  And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees
Ab5            Ab5                    C5
 All the other stuff tired itself out first, not me
Ab5                Ab5                   C5
 And in its wake, appeared the touch and call of a different breed
Eb5                    C5               D5                 D5
One who set to get me wise and got me there and then, got me
        
And what a thing to know what could be instead
Oh, what a blessed curse; to see
It took the agenda from its place in my bed
Made a merry paramour of me

[Chorus once]

D5         A5              E5                   E5 - Eb5 - D5
O' sailor why'd you do it -What'd you do that for
D5              A5         G5
Giving me eyes to view it -As it goes by the boards
