[Intro]
Amaj7, Emaj7 (x2)
[Verse 1]
You walked into the r[Amaj7]oom
And the w[Emaj7]hole place stopped to notice
Standing next to [Amaj7]you, I feel hop[Emaj7]eless and you know this
[C#m]I've never been as[Amaj7]hamed of my attraction
[C#m]I'd be happy if you g[Amaj7]ave me just a [B]fraction
As we dan[Emaj7]ced, I could se[E7]e in your e[Amaj7]yes
You and [Am]me as senior citizens in love[Emaj7]
[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]
Be[C#m]fore all the [Amaj7]fireworks expl[Emaj7]oded
[C#m]Our conver[Amaj7]sations were so lo[Emaj7]aded, innuendo flying
[C#m]Now what can [C]we s[Amaj7]ay?[Emaj7]
Have a nic[Amaj7]e day
Looks like [Emaj7]rain today[Amaj7]
What'd you [Emaj7]say?
Doesn't matter a[Amaj7]nyway[Emaj7]
[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]
