        Cnot (x32010@1)yet 21
                    Gwith (320003@1)introductions done
                        F (133211@1)    F/E (xx2211@1)    Ama (x02210@1)first slow dance just ends

I was at my best
we ignored the rest
My band and your friends

               F (133211@1)  C (x32010@1)         Gbut (320003@1)as better night became best day
we left the party while last records played
what started as dessert back at your house

              Cended (x32010@1)on the couch
              Ghours (320003@1)at your mouth
                Amsunday's (x02210@1)on our hands

                     Cwe (x32010@1)followed where it led
                  GI (320003@1)followed you to bed
                  Amwe (x02210@1)started secret plans

(back to first riff)

forward 7 months:
I've only seen you once
I never call on time

trying to seem tough
I said one visit's enough
enough to keep you mine

(of course it wasn't) we were done by June
you'd graduate and leave for london soon
your layover at newark's near my house

we met for dinner there
just one hour to spare
your 20's all mapped out

                 FI'm (133211@1)in my driest drought
                         Gfeeling (320003@1)old and shot and how
                   Fand (133211@1)this is what I thought:
                   GI (320003@1)seem to still be caught
                  FI'm (133211@1)a footnote at best
                 GI (320003@1)envy who comes next
                        Amwish (x02210@1)we could just make out

'The hour's almost up'
you said into your cup
and it makes no difference now
as I help lift your bags out
that I'm lost and out of rope
while on my wrist you wrote
your newest number down

                    CI (x32010@1)kind of said your name
                         Gbut (320003@1)you'd turned to your plane
                   Amso (x02210@1)I backed my car out
                  CI (x32010@1)knew we'd never write
                         G(somehow (320003@1)that seemed all right)
                                        Cbut (x32010@1)this counts as calling, three years out
