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

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

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

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

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


C C Em Em D D G G Cdim Cdim Am Am Bm Bm C C
But you said, 'All the money in the world won't buy a bed so big and wide,
Em Em D D G G Cdim Cdim Am Am Bm Bm C C
to guarantee that you won't acci - dentally touch me in the night.'

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

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

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

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