[ C ] summer went the way of spring
[ G ] winter's waiting in the wings
[ F ] and we haven't saved anything
[ C ] but that's [ G7 ] alright
[ C ] cause we already paid the rent
[ G ] there's still some money we haven't spent
[ C ] go put on something different
[ F ] we're going out [ G7 ] tonight

[ C ] I have loved you for so long
[ G ] even when I could only do you wrong
[ F ] go see if they have our song
[ C ] on the jukebox over [ G7 ] there
[ C ] a dollar gets you seven plays
[ G ] I watch you through a smoky haze
[ F ] a secret smile on your face
[ C ] I'm sorry if I [ G7 ] stare

[ Am ] but you look like a [ F ] stranger
[ C ] in that old-fashioned [ G ] hat
[ Am ] and I've got a pocketful of [ F ] change
[ C ] and I don't wanna go [ G ] home yet

[ C ] clearly I remember when
[ G ] I used to scratch my poems
[ F ] on the backs of other lovers in
[ C ] the darkness of my [ G7 ] mind
[ C ] back before I made my home
[ G ] in the marrow of your bones
[ F ] now I know your figure like my own
[ C ] even from [ G7 ] behind

[ Am ] but you look like a [ F ] stranger
[ C ] in that old-fashioned [ G ] hat
[ Am ] and I've got a pocketful of [ F ] change
[ C ] and I don't wanna go [ G ] home yet

[ C ] hey and we'll be married soon
[ G ] we'll be dancing to this very tune
[ F ] then we'll have a honeymoon
[ C ] then we'll start to [ G7 ] fight
[ C ] bring the tonic and the gin
[ G ] say what was your name again?
[ F ] stick another quarter in
[ C ] and stay with me [ G7 ] tonight

[ Am ] you look like a [ F ] stranger
[ C ] in that old-fashioned [ G ] hat
[ Am ] and I've got a pocketful of [ F ] change
[ C ] and I don't wanna go [ G ] home yet
