D C
Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
D Fm
Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair
A# Am
Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" in my finest hand
A#m Gm F
Wanted to send it, but I don't know where I stand
D C
Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
D Fm
All alone in California and talking to you
A# Am
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned
A# Gm F
I guess it's too early, 'cause I don't know where I stand
A G (x2)
A#m Gm A# F (solo)

D C
Crickets call, courting their ladies in star-dappled green
D C Fm
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
A# Am
All muted and misty, so drowsy now I'll take what sleep I can
A#m Gm Dm F
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand
A#m Gm F
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand
A G (x2)
