F
I never met a lady
         C                   Bb
Quite as pretty as Melody Dean
    F
And when I laid my head down on her 
C                           Bb
heart it beated out your name
    F
And so I had to 
C
listen to her
Bb
heart beat several hundred times and
F
She was very 
C
nice about it
Bb
Held my hand and didn't mind
  F
I never put my foot in the same 
C                                  Bb
River twice I don't like getting wet
    F
You take the good you take the bad
    C                             Bb
You take it all and that is all you get
    F
The fact is you would rather I be 
C                         Bb
lonely in a bathtub with a book
    F
The fact is you would rather I sat 
C                               Bb
Pining on our pictures from New York
 
New York, New York, New York
 
But
 

F C   Bb
I get torn to pieces
F   C   Bb
For the stupidest reasons
F   C Bb
All I want's to love the one I'm with

Just like the song says
 

  F
I don't like picking sides I don't like
C                          Bb
Sticking my Sharona in a box
  F
I like to spread her out on different 
C                               Bb
Crackers, yeah I like the way she looks
    F
And when I go to bed at night with 
C                          Bb
Melody undressing in my head
   F
To get to sleep you know that I would 
C                          Bb
Rather be undressing you instead

Instead, instead, instead
 

  F
I never met a lady quite as 
C
Pretty as Melody Dean and
Bb
Even though I know you are a little bit angry with me
    F
You know that it is you I love
    C
And you I want to get me off
    Bb
But you can only do that when you're here

And right now you are not
F
 

  F
I never cross the Continental 
C                             Bb
Divide without thinking about you
  F
I am a tree that's carved up with her
C                        Bb
Name she is a warrior tattoo
        F
And the fact is you're selective about 
C                          Bb
what you can remember for a   start
F
The fact is you're just jealous as all 
C                            Bb
Get out we can do it in the dark

The dark, the dark, the dark
 
But
 

F C   Bb
I get torn to pieces
F   C   Bb
For the stupidest reasons
F   C Bb
All I want's to love the one I'm with

Just like Steven Stills says
 

  F
I never met a lady quite as 
C
Pretty as Melody Dean and
Bb
Even though I know you are a little bit angry with me
    F
You know that it is you I love
    C
And you I want to get me off
Bb
But you can only do that when you're here

And right now you are not
