Verse 1:

C           G7           C                G7
 I'm discon  tented with  homes that I've  rented
    C           G7         C    E7
So   I have in  vented my  own
Am              B7           Dm        E7
 Darling, this   place is a   lovely o  asis
      Am             B7        Am        C7
Where  life's weary   chase is  unknown
F              G7           C
 Far from the   cry of the   city
              Fm6                D7
Where flowers  pretty caress the  streams
C         G7            C              G7
 Cozy to   hide in, to   live side by   side in
       C        G7            C       G7Ab7A7
Don't   let it   abide in my   dream

Chorus:

C         G7      Dm7     G7
 Picture   you up  on my   knee
      Em        Am        Em        Am
Just   tea for   two and   two for   tea
      Dm7      G7
Just   me for   you
     Dm7       G7    C      AmC Am
And   you for   me a  lone

Gbm7     B7          Gbm7        B7
 Nobody  near us to   see us or  hear us
    Abm7           Dbm
No   friends or re  lations
    Abm7        Dbm
On   weekend va  cations
    Gbm7            B7
We   won't have it  known, dear
      Gbm7       B7  G+  E        G7
That   we own a  te   le  phone,   dear

Dm7        G7          Dm7        G7
 Day will   break and   you'll aw  ake
     Em         Am       Em      Am
And   start to   bake a   sugar   cake
     Dm7    G7         Dm7      G7
For  me to   take for   all the  boys
    Gm   A7
To   see
Dm7       Gm       A+   A7
 We will   raise a fami ly
   Gm        Dm     C+         Fm6
A   boy for   you a  girl for   me
     C           Adim
Oh,   can't you   see how
Dm7     G7         C     G7Ab7A7
 happy   we would   be?

 You are re  vealing a   plan so ap  pealing
   C                G7            C     E7
I   can't help but   feeling for   you
Am          B7                  Dm         E7
 Darling I   planned, it can't   you under  stand it,
    Am             B7            Am   C7

 All of your   schemes I'm ad  miring

They're won't de  siring, but can't you   see
C             G7             C             G7
 I'd like to   wait dear for  some future   date, dear
    C              G7               C    G7Ab7A7
It   won't be too   late dear, for   me
