E C#m G#m
I bet you're wondering what's in the case
D# G#7 C#m A E
And just why it has come with us to dinner on our second date
B7 Em
When we're trying to have fun
Pre-Chorus
Am
Well I may be taller than some
G
More handsome than some
C D
Even darker than a select few
G Em Bm
But it seems every goddamn eligible young man
F#
Would give his left nut for you
B7
All I can do is play
E B7 E
Songs on the mandolin
B7 E B7 E
So I'll play you a song on the mandolin
B7 E B7 E
There'll be too many notes, but then again
B7 E B7 E Am
There ain't too many folks can play too many notes on the mandolin
Verse: 2
E C#m G#m
As you can see by the scattered applause
D# G#7
Some might say I'm a catch
C#m A E
I hope that I've at least given you pause
B7 Em
As we wait for the check
Pre-Chorus
Am
You may be sweeter than most
G
More gifted than most
C D
And much hotter than all but a few
G Em Bm
But I'll go even God ain't the model of restraint
F#
showing you what he can do
B7
Doesn't mean you don't need
E B7 E
Songs on the mandolin
B7 E B7 E
So I'll play you a song on the mandolin

There'll be too many notes, but then again

There ain't too many folks can play too many notes on the mandolin
Bridge
Am
You may be calmer than me
G
More well rounded than me
C D
As over me as I'm into you
G Em Bm
But ain't it a proven fact that opposites attract?
F#
I can't play it cool--you can!
B
I can't play along--you could!
G#7
I can't play it safe--you do!
C#
But you can't play yourself a
F#
song on the mandolin
E B7 E
So I'll play you a song on the mandolin

There'll be too many notes, but then again
B7 E B7 E
