[Chorus]
C          Em          F          C
How in the world can a boy meet a girl
       F         C           G
That’s as good a girl as his best friend’s girl
    C           Em         F          C
And how in this life can a man take a wife
       F         C           G             C
That’s as good a wife as his best friend’s wife


[Verse 1]
       Am           Em
You consider all my questions
        F             C
And you offer some suggestions
     F        C              G                G7
Well maybe my best chance is just to wait and see
          Am              Em
There’s a girl I tried to look-up
        F              C
And she said we cannot hook-up
     F                 C
With all the energy it took up
      G
Can’t someone please tell me


[Chorus]
C          Em          F          C
How in the world can a boy meet a girl
       F         C           G
That’s as good a girl as his best friend’s girl
    C           Em         F          C
And how in this life can a man take a wife
       F         C           G             C
That’s as good a wife as his best friend’s wife

[Verse 2]
       Am         Em
So I had a little respite
    F              C
And I became quite desperate
F                 C
Listening to Mike Nesmith
    G                     
The Wichita Train Whistle Sings
Am          Em
Everybody’s walking somewhere
    F           C
And everybody’s stalking someone
    F           C
And everybody’s talking
    G
But no one says a thing


[Chorus]
      D          F#m     G              D 
About how in the world a boy can meet a girl
       G         D           A             A7
That’s as good a girl as his best friend’s girl
    D           F#m        G          D
And how in this life can a man take a wife
       G         D           A             Bm
That’s as good a wife as his best friend’s wife


[Bridge]
Bm A     D
We don’t know
Bm A     D
We don’t know
Bm A     D
We don’t know


[Chrous]
E         G#m      A              E
How in the world a boy can meet a girl
       A         E           B7
That’s as good a girl as his best friend’s girl
    E           G#m        A          E
And how in this life can a man take a wife
       A         E           B7           E
That’s as good a wife as his best friend’s wife

[Outro]
Emaj7       E7
Everybody’s talking
    E7            A
But no one says a thing
    Am                    E
