G5 D5 Later in the day, G5 C5 You'll be searching for a way F5 D5 To let her know you're ready G5 C5 For her little game to end F5 D5 Cause it's getting dark, and then- D5 A5 G5 D5 You'll see her face, a glimpse of lace G5 D5 And you'll go running G5 A5 Through the last sweet dying daydream D5 A5 G5 D5 Calling her name, but she's been home an hour, E5 D5 Laughing at the mirror G5 A5 As she combs her paper hair.
