[Intro]
N.C. D C
One, two, three, four, one
G D C
[Verse]
G D C
He was more like an ostrich
G D C
Than a future family man
G D C
He had his head in his last ditch
G D C
attempts to keep his feet in the sand
G D C
There were parties and clubs with
G D C
the league of the lost and loud
G D C
and sometimes he felt as if
G D C
he was the one in every crowd
[Chorus]
C D
His mornings and his noons
G D/F# Em
and his nights were long
C D
He had a head and a heart that
G D C
didn't get along
[Verse]
G D C
Her clothes were colourful
G D C
she walked in zig-zag lines
G D C
and it was only occasional
G D C
that she felt ahead of the times
G D C
in the light of her bedroom
G D C
she had a grasp of the here and there
G D C
she wondered if he knew
G D C
just how much he was in the air
[Chorus]
C D
her mornings and her noons
G D/F# Em
and her nights were long
C D
she had a head and a heart
G
that didn't get along
[Bridge]
Bm G D
Said, "How am i supposed to behave
Bm G D
when I just feel like your slave"
[Chorus]
C D
She said, "You know it’s
G D/F# Em
just a matter of timing,"
C D
Then she said, "You know I
G D C
can't control this thing"
[Verse]
G D C
I know three things
G D C
I know that I'm a man
G D C
I know I love you
G D C
I know who I am
G D C
There is a word for
G D C
the way I can't talk to you
G D C
There is a lesson
G D C
There's a moral somewhere too
[Chorus]
C D
My mornings and my noons
G D/F# Em
and my nights are long
C D
I've got a head and a heart but
G
they don't get along
[Bridge]
Bm G D
She said "How am I supposed to react,
Bm G D
When I'm up front and you just turn your back”
[Chorus]
C D
They sat as still as a
G D/F# Em
painted picture
C D G
Their hearts beat together
D C
G D C
[Verse]
G D C
Believe what he said
G D C
Hang it over what she did
G D C
Now and then in or out of bed
G D C
In the open or cleverly hid
[Chorus]
C D
His mornings and his noons
G D/F# Em
and his nights were long
C D
she had a head and a heart
G
but they didn't get along
