[Intro]
Em G/D C C
Em G/D C C
[Verse 1]
G G/F#
Exhibit A
Em
We are friends in a sleeping bag splitting the heat
Em C
We have one filthy pillow to share
G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
And your lips are in my hair
G G/F#
Someone upstairs
Em
Has a rat that we laughed at
Em
And people are drinking
C
And singing Van Halen and Slayer
G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
On a ukulele tear
[Instrumental]
Em G/D C C
Em G/D C C
[Verse 2]
G G/F#
Exhibit B
Em
Well, we found an apartment
Em
It's not much to look at
C
A futon on a floor
G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
Torn-off desktop for a door
G G/F# Em
All the decor's made of milk crates and duct tape
Em
And if we have sex
C
They can hear us through the floor
G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
But we don't do that anymore
[Chorus]
Em G/D C
And I lay there wondering, what is the matter?
Em G/D C
Is this a matter of worse or of better?
Em G/D C
You took the blanket, so I took the bedsheet
Em G/D C
But I would have held you if you'd only...
N.C.
...let me
[Instrumental]
Em G/D C C
Em G/D C C
[Verse 3]
G G/F#
Exhibit C
Em
Look how quaint
Em
And how quiet and private
C
Our paychecks have bought us a condo in town
G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
It's the nicest flat around
G G/F# Em
You picked a mattress and had it delivered
Em
And I walked upstairs
C
And the sight of it made my heart pound
G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
And I wrapped my arms around me
[Chorus 1]
Em G/D C
And I stood there wondering, what is the matter?
Em G/D C
Is this a matter of worse or of better?
Em G/D C
You walked right past me and straightened the covers
Em G/D C
But I would still love you if you wanted a lover
[Bridge]
C
And you said
C Em
All the money in the world
D G E Am B C
Won't buy a bed so big and wide
C Em D G E Am B
To guarantee that you won't accidentally touch me
B7 C
In the night
[Instrumental]
Em D G E Am F#mb5
[Verse 4]
G G/F#
Exhibit D
Em
Now we're both mostly paralyzed
C
Don't know how long we've been lying here in fear
G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
Too afraid to even feel
G G/F# Em
I find my glasses and you turn the light out
Em
Roll off on your side
C
Like you've rolled away for years
G C
Holding back those king-size tears
[Chorus 2]
Em G/D C
And I still don't ask you, what is the matter?
Em G/D C
Is this a matter of worse or of better?
Em G/D
You take the heart failure
C
I'll take the cancer
Em G/D C
I've long stopped wondering why you don't answer
[Instrumental]
Em G/D C C
Em G/D C C
Em G/D C C
Em G/D C C
[Verse 5]
G G/F#
Exhibit E
Em
You can certainly see how fulfilling a life
C
From the cost and size of stone
G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
Of our final resting home
G G/F# Em
We got some nice ones right under a cherry tree
C
You and me lying the only way we know
G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
Side by side and still and cold
[Chorus 3]
Em G/D C
And I finally ask you, what was the matter?
Em G/D C
Was it a matter of worse or of better?
Em G/D C
You stretch your arms out and finally face me
Em G/D
You say I would have told you
C Cadd9 C
If you'd only asked me
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
If you'd only asked me
C Cadd9 C
If you'd only asked me
[Outro]
Em G/D C C
