G                                  C                                 G
I get this message on my message machine that she's cooking dinner tonight
                D                         G
So I go out and pick up a bottle of wine
                            C                               G
Kinda nervous, I've run out things to say when I get there
                           D
“Say I… I like your wooden floorboards"

[Verse]
                 C
She is laying in flannel sheets
G                           D
Brass bed speaks, "Come on, lie in me"
         G                   C
And then there I'm standing, naked and meek
         G                    D
Stalling there, she then says lovingly:

[Chorus]
     G            C               G               D
“If I were the queen and you were just the jester fool
        G              C            G             D          G
I would love you as my king, just because I do, I do, I do love you”

Six a.m. the alarm clock goes off and I realize that I am not where I usually
      D
am at six o'clock in the morning
      G                            C                                 G
And I, I kiss her goodbye and grab all my clothes and run out in the street
                                       D
half dressed and I'm probably gonna be late for work

[Verse]
                         C
Morning out on her naked street
G                           D
Old lady on the corner just stares at me
  G                     C                   G
I guess she ain't never seen barefoot feet
                            D
Or heard the words that she sung to me:

[Chorus]
    G            C               G               D
If I were the queen and you were just the jester fool
        G              C                   G             D                G       C
I would love you as my king, ‘cause just because I do, I do love you, I love you
  G          D             G              C            D
I do, I do love you, oh, I do, I do, I do love you, I love you
