(F#)Lydia keeps my toothbrush in her (E)apartment    (Ebm)068876
and she never com(Ebm)plains.
Well, hardly (E)ever. And then jokingly she (F#)says
Boy, it's been so long since I (E)held you, 
I nearly gave you up for (Ebm)dead.
I nearly gave you up for (E)dead.
I nearly gave you up for (C#m)dead.(C#)

(F#)Lydia, Lydia how come you under(B)stand?
I can offer you nothing at (E)all.
This is more than I had (Ebm)planned.(C#sus4)(C#)
(F#)Lydia, Lydia I am at your (B)command, 
at least until (E)morning comes, 
Then, I must be off (G#m)again.
I must be off (D)again (E)(F#)

(F#)Lydia, you know I always talk about making conscious de(E)cisions
About running my own (Ebm)life.
Well, maybe I'm (E)fooling myself, 
it's a role I like to (F#)play.
Because more often than not I'm down here on the (E)corner.    
I'm sorry I woke (Ebm)you.
Do you feel like some (E)company?
Babe, I need a place to (C#m)stay.(C#)(F#)

(F#)Lydia, Lydia how come you under(B)stand?
I can offer you nothing at (E)all.
This is more than I had (Ebm)planned.(C#sus4)(C#)
(F#)Lydia, Lydia I am at your (B)command, 
at least until (E)morning comes, 
Then, I must be off (G#m)again.
I must be off (D)again (E)(F#)

Well, maybe I (Ebm)am.
No, that wouldn't sur(E)prise anyone.

But, Lydia, if you only knew how much I (E)love you.(Ebm)
Did you know that I (E)love you?       
It's the best that I can (C#m)do.(C#)

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
