GI don't want to spend the rest of my life
Cstarin' at a man,  Looking down a line
Ewhat's he say? 'Not my style'
CJust a stylized version of an obsolete file
GI don't want to spend the rest of my time
Clookin' for the words I'm never going to find
EYou read them in a book and apply them to your life
Cbut how can I be as pretty as she writes?

GShe don't want to spend the rest of her heart
Cwaste it on a job, and never get a start
EPart of her says she should be herself
Cand part of her says she should be with someone else
GI don't want to spend the rest of my life
Clooking for a girl I'm never gonna find.
EStarin' back at me when I come home at night
Cbut how can she be as pretty as I write?

I don't want to spend the rest of my life

starin' at a man, Looking down a line

what's he say? 'Not my style'

Just a stylized version of an obsolete file

I don't want to spend the rest of my time

lookin' for the words I'm never going to find

You read them in a book and apply them to your life

but how can I be as pretty as she writes?

0:27 - 0:39

I know I'm all right. Because

E C E D

the needle can't burn what the needle can't find

0:40 - 1:04

She don't want to spend the rest of her heart

waste it on a job, and never get a start

Part of her says she should be herself

and part of her says she should be with someone else

I don't want to spend the rest of my life

looking for a girl I'm never gonna find.

Starin' back at me when I come home at night

but how can she be as pretty as I write?

what the needle can't find

And the money won't save what the money

can't buy

E C

And part of me is safe

E C D

And part of me is lies

So be mine tonight.
