Dunno how to end this lyrically or musically. Maybe needs some kind of a bridge.

[V:]
D D A A
So Emily said to Joe: there are some things that you should know
Em Em G A
And I oughta get them off my chest before I have to go
D D A A
I'll try to make it simple, oh, I'll try to make it clear
Em Em G A
What I've learned from the time we've had together all these years

D D A A
The atomic weight of Tungsten is 1 8 3 . 8 4
Em Em G A
Borges is amazing, yeah, but Marcel Proust's a bore
D D A A
I've learned so many things about the world and my own self
Em Em G A
But the only ones I care about came from that dusty shelf

===

[Ch:]
Bm F#m G G
I used your favorite toothbrush when you weren't around to see
Bm F#m G A
I dreaded every moment that you spent alone with me
Bm F#m G D
I find your laugh annoying, and I hate that you can't cook
Em Em G A
I only loved you for your books

===

D D A A
I don't feel very educated about the way that we relate
Em Em G A
But I know Franciso Goya died in Eighteen Twenty-Eight
D D A A
I know the Dutch Stadtholders and most the Kings of France
Em Em G A
I know that all you think about is getting in my pants

[Ch]

D D A A
It's no fiction that I'd rather leave you now than stay
Em Em G A
Though I'll miss the biographic epics and the plays
D D A A
And the Vonneguts and Conrads and the Kafka and Camus
Em Em G A
All in their first editions, and in mint condition, too

[Ch]
