[Intro]
A5 , E5 (x2)

[Verse 1]
                     A5
You walked into the room
         E5
And the whole place stopped to notice
                 A5          E5
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
C#5               A5
I've never been ashamed of my attraction
C#5                  A5         B5
I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction
         E5          E5         A5
As we danced, I could see in your eyes
        A5                              E5
You 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#5          A5         E5
Before all the fireworks exploded
C#5       A5             E5
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
C#5          C5   A5   E5
Now what can we say?
          A5
Have a nice day
           E5        A5
Looks like rain today
           E5
What'd you say?
                A5    E5
Doesn't 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 E7M]
