When we’re to (D)geth er,

Dar (C7)ling, just (F)set tle for me.

I (C7)think you’ll (F)have to a gree, (Gm7)we make (C7)quite a pair.

I know I’m (Eb9)on ly sec ond place in this game, but like (G9)two per cent milk or sei tan beef, I (C7)al most taste the same.

So won’t you (F)set tle for me?

Come (C7)on and (F)set tle for me.

Say (C7)yes or (F6)no be fore I choke on all this swal lowed (Bbmaj7)pride.

I (Bb6)have no (Bb)prob lem be ing picked out from the (Eb7)bot tom; if he’s your bro ken (Am7)con dom, I’m plan B.

So (G9)low er those ex pec (C13)ta tions and set tle for me.

Am I o (Gm7)kay with this?

To tal ly!

(F)Set tle for me, ba by (C7)cakes; just (F)set tle for me, shmoo py (C7)pie.

It makes a (Gm7)cer tain sense.

He’s a (F)fan ta sy, but, (Gm7)hey, let’s (C7)think this through:
