Foolish Pride

[C]unbutton me, roll up my sleaves
[G]hang me by the curtains to dry
[C]take off my tie, unfold me by and by
[G]hang me in the closet to grow old
[C]untie these suede shoes, let me sing my blues
[G]of being soakened by the rain
[C]this dog I own is tame, in he I take no shame
[G]as I let him out to run and play

[D]As you can see the rest is up [F]to me
[G]while I sit and rest in glee

If i so decied, I can lower my pride
and stay like all the rest and the moon
instead here I lay, given into the hay
resting by and by

placed upon the shelf, this favorite book of mine
the author unknown and the time
this my dusty treasure, have I not but opened once
to claim that it's mine

as you can see the rest is up to me
while i sit and ponder what's inside

these weary days that pass, before my eyes through glass
keep me on the inside wondering
the days that lie ahead, i think of in my bed
asleep like brian wilson did

taken by the rain, while my insides pain
aching through these rainy days
as the children play and while i lay in ha
my foolish mind is hardening

as you can see the rest is up to me
placing trust in no one that i see

fade
