[Intro]
A E F#m C#m D F G A
[Verse]
It’s a little retro and a Ebit passé but you F#mknow you make her feel C#mA-OK
And she Dfeels alright, the sFtars are bright, the Gmissionary pAosition
And the acrobats, well they Etend to scoff, all you F#mknow is that you can C#mget her off
And you Dfeel alright, the sFtars are bright, the Gmissionary poAsition
[Chorus]
GThe tried and true is good enough for Fme and you, for me and you
GThe tried and true is good enough, Edon’t need anymore, we don’t need anymore
[Verse]
A reAbranding effort might just Ebe the thing but a F#mname’s a name and we’re conC#mtinuing
Always Dfeeling fine, it Fain’t the wine, it’s the Gmissionary poAsition
There are pros and cons to each Edifferent pose but we F#mdon’t see any need to C#mget to those
‘cause we’re Dfeeling great, a Fheightened state, the Gmissionary poAsition
[Chorus]
GThe tried and true is good enough for Fme and you, for me and you
GThe tried and true is good enough, Edon’t need anymore, we don’t need anymore
DDon’t need anymore, we don’t need anymoreA  E  F#m  C#m  D  F  G  A  
[Verse]
You might have positions you can Erecommend but I F#mdon’t know if we’ll ever C#mget to them
‘cause we Dfeel alright, the sFtars are bright, the Gmissionary poAsition
You might pride yourself, you’re so EAvant Garde but we're F#mneo-classicists, I C#mguess, at heart
PatroDnise all you like, Fwe both like the Gmissionary poAsition
[Bridge]
GMissionary, Fmissionary, Amissionary, missionary…
GMissionary, Fmissionary, Amissionary, missionary…
GMissionary, Fmissionary, Amissionary, missionary…
GMissionary, Fmissionary, Amissionary, missionary…A  E  F#m  C#m  D  F  G  A  
[Verse]
It’s a private matter as to Efrequency but we F#mboth are smiling as you C#mwell can see
And it Dain’t no joke, it Fain’t baroque, it’s the Gmissionary poAsition
It’s a little retro and a Ebit passé but you F#mknow you'll make her feel C#mA-OK
And she Dfeels alright, the sFtars are bright, the Gmissionary poAsition
