GOOD INTENTIONS
It[(Ab7)]'s a sunny day in [(Db9)]sunny California
But that [(Ab7)]old sun it's shining on me [(E9)]right here at [(Eb9)]home
It's one of those [(Ab7)]days
When those great ideas they just seem to [(Db9)]fall out on you
And they always [(Ab7)]fall the greatest when you're [(E9)]falling al[(Eb9)]l alone
It makes for a [Ab13]good day for some serious reflection
[Db9]And massive rationalization
For contemplating the [Ab13]future of the future
And the l[E9]ast of the [Eb9]past
And wondering [Ab7]if you could ever forgive me darling
All the [Db9]trouble that I put to you
And if I could [Ab7]forget all those questions
That [E9]I never [Eb9]asked
And if I could forgiv[Db9]e
The temporary weight gain due to [Ab13]excessive water retention
[Db9]I could forgive the rest [Ab13]too
It's just a [Db9]fact of life
That no one [Ab13]cares to m[Db7]ention
[Ab7]She wasn't [Db9]good
But she had [E9]good intent[Eb9]ions
VERSE 2
So the grass it grows
When the sun it shines
And face it glows
When the woman's mine
And you say I'm a fool-around
Honey that may be true
But I'd sooner fool around
Than be a fool for a fool
And if I could forgive
The unadulterated adulterating apprehension
I could forgive the rest too
It's just a fact of life
That no one cares to mention
She wasn't good
But she had good intentions
SOLO (see TAB below)
VERSE 3
So I'm twenty-six and rising
Still too young to live
But too low to go
I guess it's the process
Of learning to excess
All of those things
That you already know
And if I could forgive
The honey-I swear-it-didn't-mean-a-thing-to-me
Attempt at abstention
I could forgive the rest too
It's just a fact of life
That no one cares to mention
She wasn't good
But she had good intentions
She wasn't good
But she had good intentions
