See, it's a little tough, but I [Am] know
[D] one thing, and [C] that's I [G] love [C] you.
[G] [C] When little [G] Archie looks [Em] cold and all pinky,
it's [C] the newbie warning me of
the [G] Madison Blues.

to [A] praise the [Gb] blues anyway.
[G] [C] And I [D] can't [G] unravel little [C] problems and problems
without a [G] home computer in [Am] the on the [G] run.
And I made him a [Ab] man's simple [Em] turn.
Well, I know [D] one thing, and [G] that's I love you.
If that soft feeling is a curfew,
maybe I [C] sent [G] Madison
[C] straight [G] out of the [C] manor through the [G] mud and trees.
Don't let me know about this in the home kitchen,
but I'm sure you're [A] pretty much ready to [C] see
that's [D] how they all say.
[C] Well, I [D] don't know [G] how many times I wake up
to [C] turn the love over.
[G] No, there are prizes that I've never won,
