The Mater

G# Fm I fell into you in the shadow of the staircase C# D# Washed my hands of you in the kitchen sink G# Fm And in that house I knew we'd never close this distance C# D# You said baby, we are closer than you think G# Fm So I made love to the idea of your involvement C# D# And the conversation we had in the dark G# Fm You said you'd never judge the way I solve my problems C# D# Then you left me in the garden talking art C# Fm D# I just wished we laughed in time, that's all C# Fm C# I just wished we laughed in time, that's all G# That's all G# Fm Fell out of my soft head the night we left The Mater C# D# Bravo maestro, never seen the sky so pink G# Fm Fell into your soft bed and stayed the morning after C# D# I said, "Baby, we are colder than we think" G# Fm So I made love to the idea of your approval C# D# And the conversations we had with our hands G# Fm I don't go in for that sort of thing, I told you C# D# Then I sang, "Stand By Your Man" C# Fm D# I just wished we laughed in time, that's all C# Fm C# I just wished we laughed in time, that's all G# That's all G# Fm I should have told you then that I had slipped you on inside my head C# D# There are bits of you in every journey home G# Fm Is it so bad, I like the way I look from your side of the bed C# D# You said baby, did you think I didn't know? G# Fm Still, I made love to the idea of our collusion C# D# And the conversation we had on the floor G# Fm While the backroom boys earned our disapproval C# D# Come on David, sing one more C# Fm D# I just wished we laughed in time, that's all C# Fm C# I just wished we laughed in time, that's all G# That's all
