The Bed Song

[G]
Exhibit [A],
[Bm]We are friends in a sleeping bag, [Em]splitting the heat
We have [G]one filthy pillow to [C]share and your [G]lips are in my [C]hair
[G]Someone upstairs has a [Bm]rat that we laughed at
And [Em]people are drinking
And [G]singing Van Halen and [C]Slayer on a [G]ukulele [C]tear

[G]
Exhibit [B]
[Bm]Well, we found an apartment
[Em]It's not much to look at
[G]A futon on a [C]floor
Torn-off [G]desktop for a [C]door
[G]All the decor's made of [Bm]milk crates and duct tape
[Em]And if we have sex
They can [G]hear us through the [C]floor
But we don't [G]do that any[C]more

And [G]I lay there wondering, [Em]what is the matter?
[G]Is this a matter of [Em]worse or of better?
[G]You took the blanket, so [Em]I took the bedsheet
[G]But I would have held you if [Em]you'd only
[C]Let me

[G]
Exhibit [C]
[Bm]Look how quaint
And how quiet and [Em]private
Our paychecks have [G]bought us a condo in [C]town
It's the [G]nicest flat [C]around
[G]You picked a mattress and [Bm]had it delivered
And [Em]I walked upstairs
And the [G]sight of it made my heart [C]pound
And I [G]wrapped my arms [C]around me

And [G]I stood there wondering, [Em]what is the matter?
[G]Is this a matter of [Em]worse or of better?
[G]You walked right past me and [Em]straightened the covers
[G]But I would still love you if you [Em]wanted a [C]lover

But you [C]said, 'All the money in the [Em]world [D/F#]won't b[G]uy [Cdim]a    [G#]   b[Am]ed so bi[Bm]g and wid[C]e,
to guarantee that you won't[Em] ac[D/F#]ci - [G]dental[Cdim]ly   [G#]   [Am]touch me [Bm]in the [C]night.'

[G]
Exhibit [D]
[Bm]Now we're both mostly paralyzed
[Em]Don't know how long we've been [G]lying here in [C]fear
Too af[G]raid to even [C]feel
[G]I find my glasses and [Bm]you turn the light out
Roll of[Em]f on your side
Like you've [G]rolled away for [C]years
Holding [G]back those king-size [C]tears

And [G]I still don't ask you, [Em]what is the matter?
[G]Is this a matter of [Em]worse or of better?
[G]You take the heart failure
[Em]I'll take the cancer
[G]I've long stopped wondering [Em]why you don't [C]answer

[G]
Exhibit [E]
You can [Bm]certainly see how ful[Em]filling a life
From the [G]cost and size of [C]stone of our [G]final resting [C]home
[G]We got some nice ones right [Bm]under a cherry tree
[Em]You and me lying the [G]only way we [C]know
Side by [G]side and still and [C]cold

And [G]I finally ask you, [Em]what was the matter?
[G]Was it a matter of [Em]worse or of better?
[G]You stretch your arms out and [Em]finally face me
You say [G]I would have told you
If [Em]you'd only [C]asked me
If [Em]you'd only [C]asked me
If [Em]you'd only [C]asked me
