Shelf Life
I’ve heard some pretty strange excuses   C  Am7#5  D-9  / F/G   G/
But none quite as lame (as this     E7  A-7  Bb  E7
I’ve seen lovers try some mean abuses
But not one of yours involved a kiss
   
Why has your sweet love gone flying?
Away like a page in the breeze   
And it seems it aint no use in my trying
To get any help upon my knees     
                       C/C
Don’t you ever lose your spirit 
That one that began with free
Don’t ever try to make some amends
Or show a little tenderness to me
ch 
While you’re starving me out on your shelf    /Bb F /
You say stonewalling’s good for your health    /Bb F / E7  /A-7/  Bb / E7
Been right on the edge of a wail    /Bb F /C /
But I just can’t seem to prevail                  /C/G/

I dare not try and wait
For a newer sell by date 
Could there ever be anyone else     C  Am7#5  D-9  / F/G   G/
You know me just as well as myself    E7  A-7  Bb  E7
   
Got to suck it up now and find out how    /Bb F /C /
This strange play will shake itself out   /C/G/
So have a nice your best best life    /Bb F /C /
In a heartbeat you’ll find someone else
