Amanda Palmer - The bed song

^GExhibit^G/F# A: We are fr^Emiends in a sleeping bag, splitting the heat. We have one filthy pillow to sh^Care, and your ^Em/Blips are in my h^Cair. ^{Cadd9 C Cadd9 C} S^Gomeone ups^G/F#tairs has a ^Emrat that we laughed at, and people are drinking and singing that Scarbourough F^Cair on a ^Em/Bukulele d^Care. ^{Cadd9 C Cadd9 C}

^GExhibi^G/F#t B: Well, we f^Emound an apartment. It’s not much to look at. A futon on a fl^Coor. Torn-off ^Em/B desktop for ^C a door. ^{Cadd9 C Cadd9 C} A^Gll the de^G/F#cor's made of m^Emilk crates and duct tape, and if we have sex they can hear us through the fl^Coor, but we ^Em/Bdon’t do that anym^Core. ^{Cadd9 C Cadd9 C}

And ^EmI lay there ^G/Dwondering "W^Chat is the matter?" "^EmIs this a ^G/Dmatter of w^Corse or of better?" ^EmYou took the b^G/Dlanket, so ^CI took the bedsheet but^Em I would have ^G/Dheld you if y^Cou'd only... ^N.C....let me.

^GExhibit^G/F# C: Look how qu^Emaint and how quiet and private. Our paychecks have bought us a condo in t^Cown. It's the n^Em/Bicest flat ^C around. ^{Cadd9 C Cadd9 C} Y^Gou picked a m^G/F#attress and ^Emhad it delivered, and I walked upstairs and the sight of it made my heart ^C pound, and I w^Em/Brapped my arms ar^Cound me. ^{Cadd9 C Cadd9 C}

And ^EmI stood there ^G/Dwondering: "W^Chat is the matter?" "^EmIs this a ^G/Dmatter of w^Corse or of better?" ^EmYou walked right ^G/Dpast me and st^Craightened the covers but^Em I would still ^G/Dlove you if you w^Canted a lover.

And you s^Caid: all the money in the... w^Emorld ^D/F#won't b^Guy ^G#dim a ^Ambed ^B7so big and w^Cide to gu^Carantee that you won't... ^Emac- ^D/F#ci- d^Gen- ^G#dimtally t^Amouch ^B7me in the ni^Cght. ^{Cadd9 C Cadd9 C}

^GExhibit^G/F# D: Now we're b^Emoth mostly paralyzed. Don't know how long we've been lying here in f^Cear, too a^Em/Bfraid to even ^C feel. ^{Cadd9 C Cadd9 C G}I find my g^G/F#lasses and ^Emyou turn the light out, roll off on your side like you've rolled away for y^Cears, holding ^Em/Bback those king-size ^C tears. ^{Cadd9 C Cadd9 C}

And ^EmI still don't ^G/Dask you: "Wh^Cat is the matter?" "^EmIs this a m^G/Datter of w^Corse or of better?" ^EmYou take the h^G/Deart failure, ^CI'll take the cancer. ^EmI've long stopped ^G/Dwondering w^Chy you don't answer.

^GExhibit^G/F# E: You can c^Emertainly see how fulfilling a life from the cost and size of st^Cone of our ^Em/Bfinal resting h^Come. ^{Cadd9 C Cadd9 C G}We got some ^G/F#nice ones right u^Emnder a cherry tree. You and me lying the only way we kn^Cow: side by ^Em/Bside and still a^Cnd cold. ^{Cadd9 C Cadd9 C}

And ^EmI finally ^G/Dask you: "W^Chat was the matter?" "^EmWas it a ^G/Dmatter of w^Corse or of better?" ^EmYou stretch your ^G/Darms out and f^Cinally face me. You say: ^Em"I would have ^G/Dtold you if y^Cou'd only asked me, if you'd only asked me, if you'd only asked me."
