[Verse I] (Male voice)
Am9 Am I asking for the moon? Fmaj9 Fmaj13 Is it really so implausible? Dm7 Dm7/F G7 That you and I could soon Cmaj7 E7sus4 E7 Come to some kind of arrangement? Am9 I'm not asking for the moon Fmaj9 Fmaj13 I've always been a realist Dm9 Dm9/F G7 When it's really nothing more Cmaj7 E7sus4 E7 Than a simple rearrangement Am B7sus4 B7 With one roof above our heads Em EmMaj7 Em7 A warm house to return to Dm7 Dm7/F G7 We could start with separate beds Cmaj7 E7sus4 E7 I could sleep alone or learn to
Am
I'm not suggesting that we'd find
Am7 F#m7b5 Fmaj7 Some earthly paradise forever Bbmaj7 Bm7b5 I mean how often does that happen now Esus4 E The answer's probably never
[Chorus]
Am9 But we could come to an arrangement Dm9 A practical arrangement B9sus4 Bbmaj7 And you could learn to love me Am9 Dm7 E7 Given time
[Verse II] (Female voice)
Am9 Well, I like my independence Fmaj9 Fmaj13 I get by, I'm not greedy Dm7 Dm7/F G7 Do you see yourself as Galahad Cmaj7 E7sus4 E7 Do I really look that needy? Am9 I brought a child up on my own Fmaj9 Fmaj13 It takes me all my strength to face him Dm7 Dm7/F G7 The father often left me Cmaj7 E7sus4 E7 and I'm not desperate to replace him Am B7sus4 B7 Tell me what kind of catch Em EmMaj7 Em7 Is a struggling single mother Dm7 Dm7/F G7 I respect you, and I like you Cmaj7 E7sus4 E7 But I won't accept another Am Am7 Empty promise when some gray and stormy F#m7b5 Fmaj7 raincloud hangs above me Bbmaj7 Bm7b5 Well, I've heard it all a hundred times Esus4 E from a man who said he loved me
[Chorus]
Am9 But we could come to an arrangement Dm7 A practical arrangement B9sus4 Bbmaj7 then perhaps I'd learn to love you Esus4 E Given time
[Verse III] (Male voice)
Am9 I'm not promising the moon Fmaj9 Fmaj13 I'm not promising a rainbow Dm7 Dm7/F G7 Just a practical solution Cmaj7 E7sus4 E7 To a solitary life Am9 I'd be a father to your boy Fmaj9 Fmaj13 A shoulder you could lean on Dm7 Dm7/F G7 How bad could it be Cmaj7 E7sus4 E7 To be my wife? Am B7sus4 B7 With one roof above our heads Em EmMaj7 Em7 A warm house to return to Dm7 Dm7/F G7 You wouldn't have to cook for me Cmaj7 E7sus4 E7 You wouldn't have to learn to Am Am7 I'm not suggesting that this proposition here F#m7b5 Fmaj7 Could last forever Bbmaj7 Bm7b5 I've no intention of deceiving you Esus4 E You're far too clever
[Chorus]
Am9 But we could come to an arrangement Dm7 A practical arrangement B9sus4 Bbmaj7 And perhaps you'd learn to love me Esus4 E Given time Am Am7 It may not be the romance F#m7b5 Fmaj7 That you had in mind B9sus4 Bbmaj7 But you could learn to love me Asus2 Given time
