Bm           F#m
She was seventeen 
Bm                    F#m 
She came with a phony dream 
Em              F#m              Bm
Seeking private lives in honest faces 
Bm              F#m              
So she lost her heart 
     Bm              F#m  
to a careful kind of guy 
    Em               F#m             Bm
Who kept his private lives in other places. 


Chorus:
                G         A         F#m              G
'Cos a cautious man don't care what kind of shoes he wears 
   Em               F#            Bm
As long as he has a spare pair of laces. 
  

So she was drunk with desire 
And in his careful way 
He measured out his love and let her taste it 
But as her giving grew he took from others too 
And carefully erased any traces. 

'Cos a cautious man don't care what kind of shoes he wears 
As long as he has a spare pair of laces. 

Bridge:
           F#             Bm              Em    A       
He'll be prepared for any crises that occur 
            Em               G            Em
He'll be prepared to lie and flat deny he ever wanted her 
   F#
To chase him. 

Solo chords:
Bm   Em   A   F#

                G         A         F#m              G
'Cos a cautious man don't care what kind of  shoes he wears 
   Em               F#            G    A
As long as he has a spare pair of laces. 

Bm               F#m
So she was twenty one 
Bm               F#m
when she saw the light 
    Em               F#m            Bm
And left him seeking lies in honest faces 
Em              F#m            Bm
Left him with a spare pair of laces.
