I guess I ran to Rhonda        for her sympathy  
 D                                
Julie Ann does all she can 
    C          D        G 
To take your chains off me  
 G 
Next in line comes Caroline  
     C 
She has your long black hair  
        D 
I can close my eyes and make believe  
      C       D      G 
That you are lying there  
  
            G                              C 
If I could put them all together I'd have you  
            G                        D 
But that's more than any mortal man can do  
         G                     C                    
So I'm drawn to the neon lights and tortured by the truth  
            G              D               G 
If I could put them all together I'd have you

I thought that Mary Ann could keep me satisfied  
        D 
But your memory stares back at me  
      C      D     G 
As I look into her eyes  
      G                  C 
It's hard to be contented with all the rest  
             D 
When you've loved the perfect woman  
             C        D    G 
When you've held the very best  

If I could put them all together I'd have you  
But that's more than any mortal man can do  
So I'm drawn to the neon lights and tortured by the truth  
            G              D               G   C 
If I could put them all together I'd have you
