G          G#dim    Am
I know you like her
                 G#dim
Well, I like her too
                 Am
I know she likes you
      A7             D                G
It's not as if I'm being sent off to war
           C                    D7
There are worse things in this world

Gm                        C                Am
There's still room in my wooden horse for two
                D7  
I was Jonathan to your David
Gm
You're still king

Well, I'd thought about her
I dreamed she'd come, I'd make my escape
I thought she liked me, but somehow I was wrong
I know you don't want it this way

Chorus:
           G
But it's okay
     Bm7                E
It's not like we'll be parted
     E7                         F
It's not like we'll never know love
             C          Dm
And she'll smile for you
                   C   F
She'll hold your hand
             Am                    D7
You'll be in love there's no other way
    Gm                  C
And I will make it someday

Well, I know you like her
Well, I like her too
I know she likes you
It's not as if I'm being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
There's still room in my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You're still king

Visions of love recollected
Have we ever been true?
I know that I have, it's time for you to go
It's all in the stones that you throw
I want you to know (to know)

It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love

Chorus:
And she'll smile for you (she'll smile for you)
She'll hold your hand (hold out your hand)
You'll be in love, there's no other way

People say that we'll never change
We'll never change, but I have
You and her in the local newspaper
You will be married and you'll be gone
Married and you'll be gone
