Chord Grown Man by Loudon Wainwright Iii

G you got a grown man for a boyfriend , C G so you better treat him just like a baby . D C he’s a saint on sunday , he’s a bum on monday; D C the rest of the week he’s just crazy . G he’s unpredictable , like an animal , C G proud as an eagle , big and strong like a bear; D C he’s a snake and a frog , he’s a pig and a dog; C D there’s a menagerie that’s living in there . G you’ll be his princess - - forever after , yes - - C G if you keep acting like you’re always sixteen . D C he is the king , ruling the kingdom’s his thing; C D don’t you forget it just remember his mother is queen . interlude A - - - - - D - - A E D - - - - E you can pick these chords however you like . A sometimes he fools around when he goes out of town D A but sooner or later he’s bound to get caught . E D he loves coming home , but then he has to roam; D E mr . ambivalence is the guy that you’ve got . A he’s got some problems - - no , you can’t solve them - - D A he’s got some goblins he can’t exorcise . E D mostly he wants to cry , he’s afraid to die , D E but he’s living life like it’s a booby prize . A he wishes he were young , a little better hung , D A and he’s paranoid you feel that way too; E D so reassure him , you’ll never cure him , D E but he still needs his daily dose of you . repeat chorus . . . . . to end
