_ [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, but
it's girl or [C] old fair, _ on [G] a _ _ ukulele.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] Exhibit _ _ [G] _ _

_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ B, [Em] oh we found an apartment, it's not much to look at, a _ futon on [C] the floor, _
torn [G] off _ desktop floor, [C] _ a door. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ All the decor is 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, _ honey.
[C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] I lay [G] there 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 bed sheet, [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 picked a [Bm] 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. _ _ _ _
You _ said all the _ money in [E] the _ [F#m] world _ [D] won't [G] _ _
[G#m] 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 [Em] we're both mostly paralyzed.
Don't know how long we've been lying _ here [C] in fear, _ _ _ [G] too afraid to _ [C] even _ feel. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ I find my glasses [Em] and you turn the light out, roll off on your side like you've _ rolled
away [C] for years, _ _ [G] holding back those king _
[C]-sized tears. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] I still [G] don't 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.
[G] _ I've long stopped wondering [C] why you don't _ [Em] answer.

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