[F#] Lydia keeps [E] my toothbrush in her apartment
And [D#m] she never complains
[E] Hardly ever
And then [F#] jokingly she says
Boy, it's been [E] so long since I held you
I [D#m] nearly gave you up for dead
I [E] nearly gave you up for dead
I [C#m] nearly gave you up for [C#] dead
[F#] Lydia, Lydia, how [B] come you understand
I [E] can offer you nothing at all
This is more [D#m] than I had planned
[F#] [C#] [F#] Lydia, Lydia, [B] I'm at your command
At [E] least until morning comes
Then I [G#m] must be off again
I [D] must be off again
[E] [F#] Lydia, you know I always talk about conscious [E] decisions
About [D#] running my own life
But [E] maybe I'm fooling myself
It's a [F#] role I like to play
Cause more often than not I'm down here [E] on the corner
I'm [D#] sorry I woke you
Do [E] you feel like some company
Babe, I [C#] need a place to stay
[F#] Lydia, Lydia, [B] you understand
I [E] can offer you nothing at all
This is more [D#m] than I had planned
[C#] [F#] Lydia, I'm [B] at your command
At [E] least until morning comes
Then I [G#m] must be off again
I must [D] be off again

[C#] Lydia, [F#] Lydia, I'm at your [B] command
At least [E] until morning comes
Then I must be [G#m] off again
I must be [D] off again
I [E]
[F#] sleep with a woman who thinks [E] I'm a child
[D#m] Maybe I am
[E] No, that wouldn't surprise anyone
I suspect [F#] that much is true
But Lydia, if you [E] only knew just how much I love you
[D#m]
Do you [E] know that I love you
It's the [C#m] best that I can do
[C#] Do [F#] [B] you understand
I [E] can offer you nothing at all
No, this is more than [D#m] I had planned
