Artist: The Refreshments Song: Fonder and Blonder * Note below that when the Bm is played, it should be alternated between strums with a Bm7 (just lift the ol' middle finger off the B string if you're playing the standard barre chord Bm). Intro: D Bm/Bm7* G Em G A (this is also the main progression throughout the song) No more negotiations dear / I'm runnin' out of patience here Whisper congratulations in my ear When it's clear that we got nothin' much left to say The monuments and maps / The skylines and the tourist traps Would all do well if they'd collapse And send you runnin' back here to me CHORUS Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"? In all the pictures that you send me now Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder Cars break down / And people break down and other things break down too I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip And now I think I'm breakin' down on you / Could you be more specific dear / Tell me what is so terrific here Don't be to scientific but make it clear and never fear I'll be scratchin' it down my nails in clay CHORUS Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"? In all the pictures that you send me now Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder Cars break down / And people break down and other things break down too I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip And now I think I'm breakin' down on you Have another sedative It gets so repetitive And don't do a damn to help me feel O.K. And all the breath of me here from you and that would be very nice If ever it'll help me get through the day, yeah yeah yeah yeah, SOLO (Play main part four times) / CHORUS Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"? In all the pictures that you send me now Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder Cars break down / And people break down and other things break down too I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip And now I think I'm breakin' down on... Cars break down / And people break down and other things break down too (spoken) I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip And now I think I'm breakin' down on you / (fade out)
