The Bed Song
Tono: Original
[Verse]
G
Exhibit A,
Bm Em
We are friends in a sleeping bag, splitting the heat
G C G C
We have one filthy pillow to share and your lips are in my hair
G Bm
Someone upstairs has a rat that we laughed at
Em
And people are drinking
G C G C
And singing Van Halen and Slayer on a ukulele tear
[Verse]
G
Exhibit B
Bm
Well, we found an apartment
Em
It's not much to look at
G C
A futon on a floor
G C
Torn-off desktop for a door
G Bm
All the decor's made of milk crates and duct tape
Em
And if we have sex
G C
They can hear us through the floor
G C
But we don't do that anymore
[Chorus]
Em G
And I lay there wondering, what is the matter?
Em G
Is this a matter of worse or of better?
Em G
You took the blanket, so I took the bedsheet
Em G
But I would have held you if you'd only
C
Let me
[Verse]
G
Exhibit C
Bm
Look how quaint
Em
And how quiet and private
G C
Our paychecks have bought us a condo in town
G C
It's the nicest flat around
G Bm
You picked a mattress and had it delivered
Em
And I walked upstairs
G C
And the sight of it made my heart pound
G C
And I wrapped my arms around me
[Chorus]
Em G
And I stood there wondering, what is the matter?
Em G
Is this a matter of worse or of better?
Em G
You walked right past me and straightened the covers
Em G C
But I would still love you if you wanted a lover
[Bridge]
C Em D/F# G Cdim/G# Am Bm C
But you said, 'All the money in the world won't buy a bed so big and wide,
Em D/F# G Cdim/G# Am Bm C
to guarantee that you won't acci - dentally touch me in the night.'
[Verse]
G
Exhibit D
Bm
Now we're both mostly paralyzed
Em G C
Don't know how long we've been lying here in fear
G C
Too afraid to even feel
G Bm
I find my glasses and you turn the light out
Em
Roll off on your side
G C
Like you've rolled away for years
G C
Holding back those king-size tears
[Chorus]
Em G
And I still don't ask you, what is the matter?
Em G
Is this a matter of worse or of better?
Em
You take the heart failure
G
I'll take the cancer
Em G C
I've long stopped wondering why you don't answer
[Verse]
G
Exhibit E
Bm Em
You can certainly see how fulfilling a life
G C G C
From the cost and size of stone of our final resting home
G Bm
We got some nice ones right under a cherry tree
Em G C
You and me lying the only way we know
G C
Side by side and still and cold
[Outro]
Em G
And I finally ask you, what was the matter?
Em G
Was it a matter of worse or of better?
Em G
You stretch your arms out and finally face me
Em
You say I would have told you
G C
If you'd only asked me
G C
If you'd only asked me
G C
If you'd only asked me
