[Intro]
Amaj7, Emaj7 (x2)

[Verse 1]
                     Amaj7You (x02120@1)walked into the room
         Emaj7And (021100@1)the whole place stopped to notice
                 Amaj7 (x02120@1)        Emaj7Standing (021100@1)next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
C#m (x13321@4)             Amaj7I've (x02120@1)never been ashamed of my attraction
C#m (x13321@4)                Amaj7 (x02120@1)       BI'd (x2444x@1)be happy if you gave me just a fraction
         Emaj7 (021100@1)        E7 (020130@1)       Amaj7As (x02120@1)we danced, I could see in your eyes
        Am (x02210@1)                            Emaj7You (021100@1)and me as senior citizens in love

[Verse 2]
I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble
You, stationed in the warm glow of the T.V.
Too patient as I'm playing L-O-V-E
And we laugh...and we laugh...and we laugh
And we have to or we'll end up in the bath

[Verse 3]
Now we're in the bath, I'm already thinking marriage
I know that in the past it was something I'd disparage
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
And I guess I'll see you Monday like before

[Bridge]
  C#m (x13321@4)        Amaj7 (x02120@1)       Emaj7Before (021100@1)all the fireworks exploded
C#m (x13321@4)     Amaj7 (x02120@1)           Emaj7Our (021100@1)conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
C#m (x13321@4)        C (x32010@1) Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7Now (021100@1)what can we say?
          Amaj7Have (x02120@1)a nice day
           Emaj7 (021100@1)      Amaj7Looks (x02120@1)like rain today
           Emaj7What'd (021100@1)you say?
                Amaj7 (x02120@1)  Emaj7Doesn't (021100@1)matter anyway

[Verse 4]
Now I'm in a cab, heading back to my apartment
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
Now I've landed in this awkward situation
How can I just avoid a conversation?
So I wait, come in late. It'd be great
If you transferred out of state

[End on Emaj7]
