[F#] Lydia keeps [E] my toothbrush in her apartment
[D#m] And she never complains
[E] Hardly ever
And then [F#] jokingly she says
Boy, it's been [E] so long since I've held you
I [D#m] nearly gave you up for dead
I [E] nearly gave you up for dead
I [C#m] nearly gave you up for [C#] dead
[F#] Lydia, Lydia, [B] come you understand
I [E] can offer you nothing at all
This is more [D#m] than I had planned
[F#] [C#] [F#] Lydia, Lydia, [B] I'm at your command
At [E] least until morning comes
I [G#m] must be off again
I [D] must be off again
[E] [F#] Lydia, you know I always talk about conscious [E] decisions
About [D#] running my own life
[D#m] [E] And maybe I'm fooling myself
It's a [F#] role I like to play
Cause more often than not I'm down here [E] on the corner
I'm [D#] sorry I woke you
[D#m] Do [E] you feel like some company?
Babe, I [C#m] need a place to [C#] stay
[F#] Lydia, Lydia, [B] come you understand
I [E] can offer you nothing at all
This is more [D#m] than I had planned
[C#] [F#] Lydia, I'm [B] at your command
[E] At least until morning comes
I [G#m] must be off again
I must [D] be off again

[C#m] [C#] [F#] Lydia, Lydia, how come you [B] understand
I can [E] offer you nothing at all
This is more than I [D#m] had planned
[C#] Lydia, [F#] Lydia, I'm at your [B] command
At least [E] until morning comes
I must be [G#m] off again
I must be [D] off again
[E] [F#]
I sleep with a woman [E] who thinks I'm a child
Well, [D#m] maybe I am
And [E] all that wouldn't surprise anyone
I suspect [F#] that much is true
But Lydia, if you only [E] knew just how much I love you
Do [D#m]
you know [E] that I love you
It's [C#m] the best that I can [C#] do
[F#] Lydia, Lydia, [B] come you understand
I [E] can offer you nothing at all
This is more than [D#m] I had planned
[C#] [F#] Lydia, Lydia, I'm at your [B] command
At [E] least until morning comes
I [G#m] must be off again
I must [D] be off again
[E] [F#]
