E                                      D
Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
 E                                    Dm
Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair
 C                                        Bm
Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" in my finest hand
Am                                           G   C9  G
Wanted to send it but I don't know where I stand

Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
All alone, in California and talking to you
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned
I guess it's too early, cos I don't know where I stand

B              A      CmaddF     AmaddD      C9 G C9 G
Do do do do do doooo  do do do do do do do do do do do

Crickets call, courting their ladies in stardappled green
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
All muted and misty, so drowsy now, I'll take what sleep I can
I know that I miss you but I don't know where I stand

CmaddF                        AmaddD              G   C9  G
I know that I miss you but I don't know where I stand

B         A        CmaddF  AmaddD  C9 G   E       CmaddF   A
   Do do do do do                     do do do do do
