_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Exhibit A, [Em] we are friends in a sleeping bag, splitting the heat, _ we have one filthy pillow
[C] to share, _ _ [G] and your lips are in [C] my _ hair. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ Someone upstairs has [E] a rat that we [Em] laughed at, and people are drinking and singing Bad
Scalper [C] O'Fair _ on [G] a _ ukulele. _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ Exhibit B, [Em] oh we found an apartment, _ it's not much to look at, a futon _ on [C] the floor, _ _
[G] doorknob, desktop, _ _ [C] floor, _ door. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ All the _ decor's made [Em] of milk crates and duct tape, and if we have sex, they can hear us
through the [C] floor, _ _ but [G] we don't do that _ any.
[C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] I lay there [G] _ wondering, [C] what is the matter?
_ [Em] Is this [G] a matter [C] of worse or of better?
[Em] You took the [G] blanket, [C] so I took the bedsheet, [Em] but I would have held you [C] if you'd only _ [Em] let me. _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Exhibit C, look [Em] how quaint and how quiet, and private our paychecks have bought us a
condo [C] in town.
_ _ [G] It's the nicest flat _ _
[C] _ _ around. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G]
You [Bm] picked a mattress and [Em] had it delivered, _ and I walked upstairs, and the sight of it
made my [C] heart _ pound, _ [B] and I [G] wrapped my _ arms [C] _ around. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] I stood [G] there wondering, [C] what is the matter?
[Em] _ Is this a matter [C] of worse or of better?
_ [Em] You walked [G] right past me [C] and straightened the covers, [Em] but I would still love you [C] if
you wanted a lover. _ _ _
And you _ said, all the _ money in [E] the _ [F#m] world _ won't [G] _ _
[E] buy a [Am] _ _
[B] bed _ so _ _ big and [C] _ _
_ _ wide, _ to _ _ guarantee that
you [E] won't _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[E] accidentally _ _ _ [Am] _
touch [B] _ me _ _ in _ [C] bed.
_ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Exhibit D, now we're [Em] both mostly _ _ paralyzed.
Don't know how long _ we've been lying _ here [C] in fear, _ _ [G] too afraid to even [C] _ _
feel. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ I find my glasses [Em] and you turn the light out, roll off on your side like you've rolled
_ away for [C] _
years, _ _ [G] holding back _ those king [C]
-sized tears. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[Em] I still don't [G] ask you, [C] what is the matter? _
_ [Em] Is this [G] a matter [C] of worse or of better?
[Em] You take the heart failure, [C] I'll take the cancer.
[Em] _ I've long stopped [C] _
wondering why you don't answer.
[Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _

_ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ Exhibit E, you can [Em] certainly see _ how fulfilling _ life, from the cost and [C] size of stone, _ _ of
[G] our _ final resting.
[C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] We got some nice ones [Em] right under a cherry tree, you and me lying, the only _ _ way [C] we know,
_ side [G] by side and still.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] I finally [G] ask you, _ [C] what was the matter?
[Em] _ Was it [G] a matter [C] of worse or of better?
[Em] _ You [G] stretch your arms out [C] and finally face [Em] me. _ _
You say, I would have told you [C] if you'd only asked me, if you'd only asked me, if you'd
only asked me.
