[Intro] D G D Da-da-da-da D G Da-da-da-da [Verse 1]
D  A                      D      G
If I leave my front door open

D                                G
Would you come and visit me?

D       G                Em7     G
Just to slander my name hoping

                              D       Bm
That I would pack my bags and leave
[Verse 2]
A                      B       G
If I did would you remember

D                     A         D      G
To feed the dove and clean the cage?

D                                Em7
And never count in front of the children

G                     D
Lest they die of old age
[Chorus]
Am7                                       D
I don't really know why we have to go our separate ways

G        D
Separate ways

Am7
Whether or not we grow after the seeds are sown

G    D             C
Only time can say
[Verse 3]
A                  D     G
Can I offer you baklava

D      A              D        G
Or a bagel with cream cheese?

D    G  D                  Em7
Will we say grace to our father

G                         D
Holding hands down on our knees?
[Verse 4]
                                  G
Are we better off just fighting?

D      A                D     G
You on your side, me on mine

                          Em7
Are the words that I keep writing

Em                 A   D
Only pearls before the swine?
[Chorus]
Bm    Am7
      What makes men claim that you're a friend

             D
When you are not at all?

G              D
They just want

     Am7
They knock you down and then

                        G                      C
They lift you up again, just to see you fall

A          D                           G
But like a bird I'll keep on singing

D                                      G
A song that never leaves your mind

                                 Em7
If nothing else you've taught me one thing

G                                  D
"Never cast your pearls before the swine"
