A E A E A It's a green-striped sheet lifted from me B A I am free of two very heavy bodies A F#m Once we three had slept soundly D B I couldn't keep them around B Fold the blankets down and E A Found new sleeping ground A Bed-springs squeaking E A Tires squealing away from one another E We all used to be lovers here A E Bodies laying say they'll stay just A Like boxes stacked the same way E Labeled and separated [Chorus] E Go ahead take the couch A I know I don't wanna sit here next to nobody E Go ahead take the fridge A I know I don't want you going hungry yeah E Go ahead take the cat A I know you're only gonna be coming back so D Go ahead take it all E D I know you've been wanting to B A E Settle down has it always been B D Settlin' down E One on the left says to the one on the right A I could make a very good wife for you E One on the right says to the one on the left A E A Let's take this one step at a time E A One on the right says to the one on the left you know E A I need you all the time E A One on the right says to the one on the left E C#m I think I changed my mind B My insides sing (x3) E A song for the sad ones E Who say they'll marry they guess A She's wearin' the white dress if he behaves his very best E A Yes [Chorus] (x3) C#m My elastic steel and spring B They will tell you everything A If you lay down for a minute (x6) C#m B The mattress makers makin' his living A By the minute by the minute
