I told Althea I was feeling lost, lacking in some direction.
Am          G       D      G         Am       G         D
Althea told me upon scrutiny that my back might need protection.

You may be Saturday's child, all grown, 
Am          G          D
Moving with a pinch of grace.
Am          G         D           G
You may be a clown in the burying ground,
Am             G       D
Or just another pretty face.

You may be the fate of Ophelia, sleeping and perchance to dream.
Bm                    D             Am           G       D

Ain't nobody messing with you, but you,

Your friends are getting most concerned.
Am             G           D         G     Am       G         D
Loose with the truth, baby it's your fire, but baby don't get burned.
 
G                  Bm                C                    G
When the smoke has cleared, she said, that's what she said to me.
Bm                 D             Am          G         D
Gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy.

C                    F            D
There are things you can replace, and others you cannot.
C                    F
The time has come to weigh those things.
D                          Am            G                D
This space is getting hot, you know this space is getting hot.

I told Althea I'm a roving sign, and I was born to be a bachelor.
Am         G        D        G    Am  G                 D
Althea told me, okay, that's fine, so now I'm trying to catch her.
 
G                         Bm
Can't talk to you without talking to me,
      C                      G
We're guilty of the same old thing.
Bm                      D
Been thinking a lot about less and less
Am            G            D
And forgetting the love we bring.
