A Couple of Goners

words and music ©1984 by Howard Kranz

 

G                 Bm        C           D                 G

Lazy lights flickering on two tongue-tied friends,

G                 Bm                      C                           D                 

hazy night’s lengthening into something else again

        G         Bm       C                D                

and you and I need just a little look at

              G  G7  C  A     G                   

me and you to see that we’re

G                Bm            C    D

a couple of goners already.

 

G          Bm                C          D                            G

I feel I know you well, but I don’t know much about you.

G                 Bm              C          D                         

Now that I love someone it’ll be fun to find out who

        G         Bm       C                         D                

and you and I don’t seem to feel the need for more

      G  G7     C    A      G                   

detail right now since we’re

G                Bm            C    D

a couple of goners already.

 

Em                  Bm        Em                            Bm

But we’re not prepared! - but we’re already there.

Em                       Bm                             C    D

No, we’re not prepared, but boy are we ready.

 

G                 Bm         C           D                 G

Lazy lights flickering on two tongue-tied friends,

G                 Bm                      C                        D                

hazy night’s lengthening into something else again

        G         Bm       C                      D                

and you and I need just our smug apologetic

 G      G7  C  A     G                   

smiles to say that we’re

G                Bm            C    D

a couple of goners already.
