Look Miles Davis, I've been swayed by the cool.
                                  A5           B5
There's just something about the summertime.
                                  D5
There's just something about the moon.

                            A5      B5                   D5             E5
So I'll lay a kiss on this storm , toss it upside your window, by the roof.
                         A5    B5                  D5        E5
Before you change your mind, Miles, bring in the cool

Interlude
A5    B5   D5
A5    B5   E5
                       A5
Now honey, put on your red dress.
         B5           D5
And you diamond soul shoes.
                          A5
Climb on down from that window.
      B5              D5
Climb on out of your room.
 
                             A5              B5             D5      E5
Cause I've never had a good time and I've always had the blues.
                           A5              B5                           D5   E5 
I always heard that you always kind of wandered, Miles, strike up the Cool.

                A5            E5
Don't wait too long to come home.
             F#5                        D5
My have the years of our youth passed on.
                 A5           E5
Don't wait too long to come home.
      F#5                    D5
I'll leave the front light on.
                  A5             E5
The night is our own, 
                 F#5             D5
Don?t wait too long.

              A5     B5                 D5
Poor mister pitiful, I can't turn you loose.
                  A5           B5                     D5
You move like a dream I had, woke up sweating in my room.
                  A5     B5                  D5
Your Mama's got plans, your daddy's aim is true.
                 A5                 B5
She never understood that it ain't no good.
                      D5
Papa never heard the cool.

                    A5        B5          D5         E5
So now I got out my map and found me a storm.
                      A5                       B5
With a flick of the wrist and the turn of the key.
                        D5                 E5
You'll just fall in my arms.

                A5            E5
Don't wait too long to come home.
              F#5                      D5
My have the years of our youth passed on.
                A5            E5
Don't wait too long to come home.
       F#5                  D5
I'll leave the front light on.
                  A5                E5
The night is our own.
                    F#5           D5
You don't wait too long.


Bridge  (Not sure if this is right)
                 C#5                            B5
So why don't you sing to me on this long drive home?
                       F#5                   Ab5
Let the sound of your voice sway sweet and slow.
        E5           B5 
As we go down, down, down.
          C#5           Ab5
From our youth to the ground.
          C#5      Eb5
We might always be blue.
Jackson!
