[Actually in E; capo 4.]
[Each chord is half a measure, except chords joined by a hyphen
(e.g., "F - Fsus" are a half-measure _total_.]
[C* is a double hammer-on from x30000 to x32010.]
[I'm fairly uncertain about a lot of these chords; suggestions are welcome.
Use whatever fingerings work for you, although I will note that they don't
use the high E string much, except in the G in the intro (320003) and the
Cmaj7 in the bridge (x32003).]

C G C G
You say she's a very good friend
Fsus Fsus F F
Circumstances I should understand
C G C G
But like recurring tide she comes on to you
Fsus Fsus
And looks as though she's looking for a man
Esus E Am7 Am7
Honey, don't make yourself so available
Abm Gm Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Fm [hold]
My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable
G G Am Am
Still, all in all, I foresee my own fall
G G - F# F G C G C G Fsus F-Fsus-F F Bb-B
But I've climbed too far to drop, so stop [repeat intro chords]
I know it's your ego puts the smile on your face
Because you know you got your options open
She's a beguiling snake, and she'll keep what she takes
When she leaves you, I'll be the one coping
Honey, don't make yourself so available
My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable
G G Am7 Am7
Still, through and through I can see clean through you
G G - F# F G C C C7 C7
I know you like to be the one on top, but stop
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
You will miss my conversation
F G C - Csus C
When you're talking to yourself
Am Am
You'll be thumbing for advice through the
Em E7 Am
Pages of the novels on your shelf
Am Abm Gm Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Fm [hold]
Honey, don't you see our love together is the very best bet
Put your focus on me and I'll forgive and forget
Throw away your hidden ace, you clever man; take my hand
Well you needn't play the part of your image
This is not a one act play we're living
As long as I'm here the situation is clear
It'll be fifty/fifty take and giving
Honey don't you see a lifetime's not much to ask
Take off your costume and remove your mask
If yes is what you will say, we're gonna start from today
Gonna take it to the very top; never stop
