Practical Arrangement

Am I asking for the moon?

Is it (Gmaj7)really so implausible

(Em7)That you and I could soon (A7sus)(A7)come to (Dmaj7)some kind of arrangement?

(F#7)I'm not (Bm9)asking for the moon.

(Gmaj7)I've always been a realist, when it's (Em7)really nothing more (G)(A7)than a (Dmaj7)simple rearrangement.

(F#7)With one (Bm)roof above our heads,

(F#m)a warm house to return (F#m7)to,

we could (Em7)start with sep'rate beds.

(A7)I could (Dmaj7)sleep alone or (F#7sus)learn to.

(F#7)I'm not (Bm)suggesting that we find (Dmaj7)some earthly (F#)paradise (Em9)forever.

I mean, how (Cmaj9)often does that happen now?

The (Bm)answer's prob'ly never.

(F#7)But we could (Gmaj7)come to an arrangement,

a (Em9)practical arrangement,

(C#m11)and you could learn to love (F#7#5)me,

given (Bm7)time.

(G7#5)I'm not (Cm7)promising the moon,

I'm not (Abmaj9)promising a rainbow,

just a (Fm9)practical solution

(Bb7)to a (Ebmaj7)solitary life.

(G7)I'd be a (Cm7)father to your boy,

a (Abmaj9)shoulder you could lean on.

(Fm7)How bad could it be

(Ebmaj7)to be my wife?

(G7)With one (Cm7)roof above our heads,

(Gm)a warm house to return to,

(Fm7)you wouldn't have to cook for (Bb9sus)me,

(Ebmaj7)you wouldn't have to learn (G7sus)to.

(G7)I'm not (Cm)suggesting that this (Ebmaj7)proposition here (Am7)could last (Fm7)forever.

I've no (Dbmaj9)intention of deceiving you;

(Cm)you're far too clever.

(G)But we could (Abmaj7)come to an arrangement,

(Fm7)a practical arrangement, and (Dm7)perhaps you'd learn to love me,

(G7)given (Fm9)time.

(Abmaj7)It (Ab)may not be the (Cm7)romance that you (Am7)had in (Fm7)mind,

but you could (Dm7)learn to love me,

(Db9)given (Csus2)time.
