The Bed Song Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

G

 Exhibit A,

BmWe are friends in a sleeping bag, Emsplitting the heat

 We have Gone filthy pillow to Cshare and your Glips are in my Chair

GSomeone upstairs has a Bmrat that we laughed at

 And Empeople are drinking

 And Gsinging Van Halen and CSlayer on a Gukulele Ctear

G

 Exhibit B

BmWell, we found an apartment

EmIt's not much to look at

GA futon on a Cfloor

 Torn-off Gdesktop for a Cdoor

GAll the decor's made of Bmmilk crates and duct tape

EmAnd if we have sex

 They can Ghear us through the Cfloor

 But we don't Gdo that anyCmore

 And GI lay there wondering, Emwhat is the matter?

GIs this a matter of Emworse or of better?

GYou took the blanket, so EmI took the bedsheet

GBut I would have held you if Emyou'd only

CLet me

G

 Exhibit C

BmLook how quaint

 And how quiet and Emprivate

 Our paychecks have Gbought us a condo in Ctown

 It's the Gnicest flat Caround

GYou picked a mattress and Bmhad it delivered

 And EmI walked upstairs

 And the Gsight of it made my heart Cpound

 And I Gwrapped my arms Caround me

 And GI stood there wondering, Emwhat is the matter?

GIs this a matter of Emworse or of better?

GYou walked right past me and Emstraightened the covers

GBut I would still love you if you Emwanted a Clover

 But you Csaid, 'All the money in the Emworld D/F♯won't bGuy Cdima G♯ bAmed so biBmg and widCe,

 to guarantee that you won'tEm acD/F♯ci - GdentalCdimly G♯ Amtouch me Bmin the Cnight.'

G

 Exhibit D

BmNow we're both mostly paralyzed

EmDon't know how long we've been Glying here in Cfear

 Too afGraid to even Cfeel

GI find my glasses and Bmyou turn the light out

 Roll ofEmf on your side

 Like you've Grolled away for Cyears

 Holding Gback those king-size Ctears

 And GI still don't ask you, Emwhat is the matter?

GIs this a matter of Emworse or of better?

GYou take the heart failure

EmI'll take the cancer

GI've long stopped wondering Emwhy you don't Canswer

G

 Exhibit E

 You can Bmcertainly see how fulEmfilling a life

 From the Gcost and size of Cstone of our Gfinal resting Chome

GWe got some nice ones right Bmunder a cherry tree

EmYou and me lying the Gonly way we Cknow

 Side by Gside and still and Ccold

 And GI finally ask you, Emwhat was the matter?

GWas it a matter of Emworse or of better?

GYou stretch your arms out and Emfinally face me

 You say GI would have told you

 If Emyou'd only Casked me

 If Emyou'd only Casked me

 If Emyou'd only Casked me
