Gm                  F 
 I'm undecided about you again 
Gm                      C 
 Mightn't be right that you're not here 
Cm                          Dm 
 It's double-sided 'cause I ruined it all 
         Dmaj7                                Bb   Bb7 
-But also saved myself by never believing you, Dear 

Everything good I deem too good to be true 
Everything else is just a bore 
Everything I have to look forward to 
Has a pretty painful and very imposing before 

 
Dm         Am              Em                  Em-Ebm-Dm 
O' sailor why'd you do it -What'd you do that for? 
Dm              Am            G 
Saying there's nothing to it -And lettin' it go by the boards 


I have too been playing with fifty-two cards 
-Just 'cause I play so far from my vest 
Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard 
What could I do, but spend my best 

refrão 

G#    G#/F                      C/D 
  And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees 
G#            G#/F                    Cm 
 All the other stuff tired itself out first, not me 
G#                G#/F                   C/D 
 And in its wake, appeared the touch and call of a different breed 
Eb                    Cm               D                 Dm 
One who set to get me wise and got me there and then, got me 

And what a thing to know what could be instead 
Oh, what a blessed curse; to see 
It took the agenda from its place in my bed 
Made a merry paramour of me 

refrão 

Dm         Am              Em                   Em-Ebm-Dm 
O' sailor why'd you do it -What'd you do that for 
Dm              Am         G 
Giving me eyes to view it -As it goes by the boards
