Christine Lavin - Attainable Love Chords

[Verse]
G                       C          G
He's not eighteen, he's not twenty-five
G                         C             D
He's closing in on forty, look at those eyes
G                                C           G
He's searching for something, he cannot describe
G                          D
He's not unhappy, he's not satisfied
 
G                               C           G
He falls in love with covers of slick magazines
G                    C            D
With serious actresses on the screen
G                       C          G
All are unattainable except in his dreams
G                            D
Where his heart and his soul reside
 
 
[Chorus]
       C       G         D        G
'cause he is afraid of attainable love
   A7                        D
Afraid it will envelop him, swallow him up
C          G              D         G
All of his life he has resisted the tug
   A7                D         C
Of attainable love, attainable love
 
G   D   G
C   G   D
 
 
[Verse]
     G                          C         G
His dance card is full, he's so much in demand
         G                                C        D
He get's nervous when his partners try to hold his hand
            G                           C            G
He's got to keep his options open, he's that kind of man
             G                           D (cha-cha-cha)
The girls he cha-cha's with never understand
 
     G                          C             G
They wonder if he's gay but the truth is he's not
              G                      C       D
He just won't settle for whatever it is he's got
G                      C             G
They want to Tango, he want's to Fox Trot
           G                           D     D
Don't even think about the can can, he can't can't
 
 
[Chorus]
       C       G         D        G
'cause he is afraid of attainable love
   A7                        D
Afraid it will envelop him, swallow him up
C          G              D         G
All of his life he has resisted the tug
   A7                D
Of attainable love, attainable love
 
 
[Bridge]
A
Add me to the list of women
    G               G              G
Who think you'll be different with me
A7
Add me to the list of fools
            D7
Who flatly refuse to see that just like me
 
 
[Chorus]
C       G         D        G
He is afraid of attainable love
   A7                        D
Afraid it will envelop him, swallow him up
C          G              D         G
All of his life he has resisted the tug
   A7                D
Of attainable love, attainable
 
C       G         D        G
He is afraid of attainable love
   A7                        D
Afraid it will envelop him, swallow him up
C          G              D         G
All of his life he has resisted the tug
   A7                D
Of attainable love, attainable
 
 
C          G              D         G
All of his life he has resisted the tug

Of attainable love, attainable love
 
G   D   G
 
C          G              D     G (cha-cha-cha)
All of his life he has resisted the tug
