Althea told me upon scrutiny that my back might need protection.

DmF7A#CmA#F7
Althea told me better cool down boy, settle back, easy Jim.

You may be Saturdayʼs child, all alone,
CmA#F7
Moving with a tinge of grace.
CmA#F7A#
You may be a clown in the burying ground,
CmA#F7
Or just another pretty face.

You may meet in the fate of Ophelia sleeping and penchant to dream.
DmF7CmA#F7
Honest to the point of recklessness, self-centered in the extreme.
CmA#F7A#
Ainʼt nobody messing with you, but you,
CmA#F7
Your friends are getting most concerned.
CmA#F7A#CmA#F7
Loose with the truth baby itʼs your fire but baby donʼt get burned.

This space is getting hot, you know this space is getting hot.

I told Althea Iʼm a roving son, and I was born to be a bachelor.
CmA#F7CmA#F7

A#Dm
Canʼt talk to you about talking to me,
D#A#
Weʼre guilty of the same old thing.
DmA#
Been talking a lot about less and less
CmA#F7
And forgetting the love we bring.
