Reasonably Fine

Em
I lost my shoes I lost my wife
G
I lost my keys I lost my kite
Am D
And though I'm young at heart I'm so much older
Em
Subway eyes and banked up skies
G
And violent towns and frozen pies
Am D
And all them football crowds who lost are cold now
G Em
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
G G7 C
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine
D G
Reasonably fine, at least to beat my drums in time
Em
Suddenly I've realised
G
That I won't be here when I die
Am D
And life upon this plain is somehow fleeting
Em
Time and all it's precious wine
G
Is somehow primed to make us whine
Am D
And fret even then when we should be sleeping
G Em
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
G G7 C
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
D G
Reasonably fine, at least to play my pretty chimes
Em
Empty cries and hollow toots
G
And all the signs that have no use
Am D
And fingers point accusingly are sinning
Em
Humourless hypocrisy
G
And all the crimes we didn't see
Am D
The sigh that knows the devil might be winning
G Em
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
G G7 C
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
D G
Reasonably fine, at least to let my music shine
Em
And maybe it's the greatest test
G
A man's surrounded by his death
Am D
But reaches out and tastes the sweetest honey
Em
That's how you make me feel
G
I love you more than death is real
Am G
It's sad but in the end it might be funny
G Em
That you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
G G7 C
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
D G
Reasonably fine, at least to leave an open mind
