Fonder and Blonder Lyrics

* Note below that when the Bm is played, it should be alternated between
strums with a Bm7 (just lift the ol' middle finger off the B string if
you're playing the standard barre chord Bm).
Intro:
D Bm/Bm7* G Em G A (this is also the main progression throughout the song)
No more negotiations dear
m7
I'm runnin' out of patience here
Whisper congratulations in my ear
When it's clear that we got nothin' much left to say
The monuments and maps
m7
The skylines and the tourist traps
Would all do well if they'd collapse
And send you runnin' back here to me
Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"?
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
Cars break down
m7
And people break down and
other things break down too
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breakin' down on you
Could you be more specific dear
m7
Tell me what is so terrific here
Don't be to scientific but make it clear
and never fear I'll be scratchin' it down my nails in clay
Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"?
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
Cars break down
m7
And people break down and
other things break down too
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breakin' down on you
Have another sedative It gets so repetitive
And don't do a damn to help me feel O.K.
And all the breath of me here from you and that would be very nice
If ever it'll help me get through the day, yeah yeah yeah yeah,
(Play main part four times)
Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"?
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
Cars break down
m7
And people break down and
other things break down too
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breakin' down on...
Cars break down
m7
And people break down and
other things break down too (spoken)
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breakin' down on you
G Bm/Bm7 G Em G A (fade out)
