Practical Arrangement
[Verse I]
Am I Am9asking for the moon?
Fmaj9 Fmaj9add6
Is it really so implausible?
Dm7That you and I could Dm7/Fsoon G7
Come to Cmaj7some kind of arrangement? E7sus4 E7
I'm not Am9asking for the moon
Fmaj9 Fmaj9add6
I've always been a realist
When it's Dm9really nothing more Dm9/F G7
Than a Cmaj7simple rearrangement E7sus4 E7
With one Amroof above our heads B7sus4 B7
EmA warm house to return to EmMaj7 Em7
We could Dm7start with separate beds Dm7/F G7
I could Cmaj7sleep alone or learn to E7sus4 E7
Am
I'm not suggesting that we'd find
Am7Some earthly F#m7b5paradise forFmaj7ever
I mean how Bbmaj7often does that happen now Bm7b5
Esus4The answer's probably never E
But we could Am9come to an arrangement
Dm9A practical arrangement
B9sus4And you could learn to Bbmaj7love me
Given Am9time Dm7 E7
[Verse II]
I'm not Am9promising the moon
Fmaj9 Fmaj9add6
I'm not promising a rainbow
Just a Dm7practical solution Dm7/F G7
To a Cmaj7solitary life E7sus4 E7
I'd be a Am9father to your boy
Fmaj9 Fmaj9add6
A shoulder you could lean on
Dm7How bad could it be Dm7/F G7
Cmaj7To be my wife? E7sus4 E7
With one Amroof above our heads B7sus4 B7
EmA warm house to return to EmMaj7 Em7
Dm7You wouldn't have to cook for me Dm7/F G7
Cmaj7You wouldn't have to learn to E7sus4 E7
I'Amm not suggesting tAm7hat this proposition here
F#m7b5Could last forFmaj7ever
Bbmaj7I've no intention of deceiving you Bm7b5
Esus4You're far too clever E
But we could Am9come to an arrangement
Dm7A practical arrangement
And perB9sus4haps you'd learn to Bbmaj7love me
Given Esus4time E
It Ammay not be the Am7romance
That you F#m7b5had in mFmaj7ind
B9sus4But you could learn to Bbmaj7love me
