Capo 4th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Intro
You say she's a very good friend
Circumstances I should understand
But like recurring tide she comes on to you
And looks as though she's looking for a man
Honey, don't make yourself so available
[hold]
My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable
Still, all in all, I foresee my own fall
But I've climbed too far to drop, so stop [repeat intro chords]
I know it's your ego puts the smile on your face
Because you know you got your options open
She's a beguiling snake, and she'll keep what she takes
When she leaves you, I'll be the one coping
Honey, don't make yourself so available
My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable
Still, through and through I can see clean through you
I know you like to be the one on top, but stop
You will miss my conversation
When you're talking to yourself
You'll be thumbing for advice through the
Pages of the novels on your shelf
[hold]
Honey, don't you see our love together is the very best bet
Put your focus on me and I'll forgive and forget
Throw away your hidden ace, you clever man; take my hand
Well you needn't play the part of your image
This is not a one act play we're living
As long as I'm here the situation is clear
It'll be fifty/fifty take and giving
Honey don't you see a lifetime's not much to ask
Take off your costume and remove your mask
If yes is what you will say, we're gonna start from today
Gonna take it to the very top; never stop
