Avocados & Beer
[INTRO: Long A]
VERSE 1:
A A A A
It's been a day and a half since you left me
D D D D
And I've tried to make sense of it all
E E
I didn't know you were unhappy,
D D A A A A
I never saw we were headed for a fall
A A A A
When I enter the empty apartment you left,
D D D D
Well you know that it's lonely, my dear.
E E D D E E
And I open the fridge to see what is still there
D D A A A A
To only find avocados and beer.
VERSE 2:
I know that I'm sometimes hard to get along with
But I didn't know I was that bad
And if I was insensitive, I'm sorry
'Cause you're the best thing I ever had
I should have listened to all you were saying
I understand why you had to leave here
It was still quite a shock to come home home this evening
To only find avocados and beer.
CHORUS:
E E
Avocados and beer!
E E E E A
All alone in the fridge, it's what's left of the life that we made
A E E
Avocados and beer!
E E E E A
I thought we'd never part, but now all of my dreams are betrayed
A D D
Avocados and beer!
D D
I thought we were a great pair
A A
But you've left now, and now I'm aware
E E E E
We're not like beans and cornbread, I've afraid that instead
E E D D A A A A
We go together like avocados and beer
[SOLO: E E E E D D D D E E D D A A A A A A A A]
VERSE 3:
Now I know that I drink maybe more than I should
My beer belly's gotten quite a few stares
But I always tried to get you whatever you wanted
That's why I bought those alligator pears
And I thought that together we'd make it at last
We'd conquer together our fears
But all of my hopes have transformed into pain
I've just got avocados and beer
CHORUS:
E E
Avocados and beer!
E E E E A
All alone in the fridge, it's what's left of the life that we made
A E E
Avocados and beer!
E E E E A
I thought we'd never part, but now all of my dreams are betrayed
A D D
Avocados and beer!
D D
I thought we were a great pair
A A
But you've left now, and now I'm aware
E E E E E E
We're not like peas in a pod, we're like hotcakes and salt cod
E E E E E E
We're like caviar and kielbasa, or strychnine and waffles,
E E D D A A A A
We go together like avocados and beer
[SOLO: E E E E D D D D E E D D A A A - cha cha cha]
