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

Oh no, this is more than I had [D#m] planned.
_ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ At [B] _ _ least [E] until morning comes,

I must be off [D] again.
_ _ [E] _
[F#] I sleep with a woman who [E] thinks I'm a child. _
[D#m] Maybe I am.
[E] No, that wouldn't surprise anyone.
I [F#] suspect that much is true.
But Lydia, if [E] you only knew just how much I love you.
[D#m] _
_ Do [E] you know that I love you?
It's the [C#m] best that I [C#] can do.
_ _ [F#] Lydia, Lydia, how come you [B] understand?
