     Am5                          D6
2How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
     Am7                             D8
3How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
      C9                               Em10

9Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
   Am19                            D20
10We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
   Am21                            D22
11We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
          C23                              Em24
12G#out the saddest book you ever read, it always makes you cry
    Am25              D26               Em27

16I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
  Am31                      Em32
17I love you my responsibility has found a place
  Am33                                  D34
18Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
     Am35                          D36
19Come wave upon me from the wider family net absurd
             C37                                Em38
20“You’ll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job”
Am39         D40              Em41

24Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
      Am45                            Em46
25We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
  Am47                             D48
26a privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
      Am49                             D50
27We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
       C51                               Em52
28And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
     Am53               D54             Em55

32The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
    Am59                              Em60
33The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
   Am61                            D62
34He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
   Am63                                     D64
35He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for

  Am73                                Em74
42I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
  Am75                              D76
43a lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
      Am77                          D78
44You’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee”
          C79                               Em80
