G               C
New front door, same address
 G
Same front step, same back-porch
 Am
Geraniums to the terrace
 G                C
Sold my shoes to pay the rent
D                       Em
I won't be needing them
D                      Em
I won't be leaving too soon


G           C
Oh my dear, do undress
G                        Am
You look so different in those new shoes
           G                C
To impress someone you have never met
D                   Em
Someone you already know
   D                       Em
Is waiting behind my front door


    G               D
And by the door you know I'll wait
    Em             C           G
Oh, by the window, by the gate
    D                Em    C
I'm waiting for your sound


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


     G             D
I've trampled all over the place
    Em               C          G
Swung to and fro and still no state
    D              Em     C
Has held me in its bounds


    G                 D
But by the bridge I'd like to stay
    Em            C       G
Oh, by the ocean, by the bay
    D                      Em    C
And hope that you'll come around


G            C
Oh, my dear, do undress
G                        Am
You look so different in those new clothes
           G               C
To impress someone you have never met
D                    Em
I'm the one needing you
D                   Em
I'm the one with no shoes


   G               D
So by the door you know I'll wait
    Em              C        G
Oh, looking out the golden gate
    D              Em        C   Em
She yawns into the morning...
