Reading Time With Pickle

	  		
Intro: C7 C C7 C 

Bb 
Walking home from work 
F7 
Stop at the supermarket 
Bb 
The condiment aisle 
C7                                      F7 
A jar of pickles catches the eye 
                                                  F 
Made eye contact with a solitary pickle -- ah! 
                  C7 
Bought the jar, took it home 


Bb 
Then made it up the stairs 
F7 
And made it through the doorway 
Bb 
And waded through the floor 
C7                                                                 F 
Tried to head in the general direction of the bathroom 
The truest room In the whole damn 
Bb 
House 


F7 
Sayin' love 
C 
Is the answer 
F 
To a question that I 
C 
have forgotten 
         F7                   C 
And I know I've been asked 
          F7               C 
So the answer has got to be 
F 
Love 
Yeah
 

Bb 
So feeding time with TV 
F7 
Then sleeping time, not sleepy 
Bb 
So reading time with pickle 
      C7                                         F7 
But where the bedside lamp had been 
                           F               Bb 
Is now emanating soft, soft green 

Bb 
Has it always been this way? 
F7                                  Bb 
Is it possible that all this magic went unnoticed? 
           C7                             F7 
Maybe now things'll start to change 
                                        F 
And life will turn a better page 
               F 
No more rage 


(Chorus) 

                 Bb 
Tomorrow, back to work again 
      F7 
But run to the supermarket 
              Bb 
Running hopeful through the aisles 
C7                                                F7 
Haven't been this happy in a long time 
                                      F 
But not a single jar was smiling 
        F 
After all 

        Bb 
Man, pickle jars are just 
F7 
Pickle jars 
       Bb 
And pickles are just pickles 
C7 
Ingredients: 
          F7 
Water, salt, cucumbers 
F              F             Bb 
Garlic and pickling spices 

      F7 
But love 
         C                 F 
Is the answer to a question that I 
C 
Have forgotten 
        F7                      C 
And I know I've been asked 
             F7 
And the answer's got to be 
F

And the answer's got to be love 
And the answer's got to be love
