Intro: E6 E E6 E


E6 E
You walked into the room and the whole place stopped to notice

E6 E
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this

C#m Aa7
I’ve never been ashamed of my attraction

C#m Aa7 B
I’d be happy if you gave me just a fraction

E E7 Aa7
As we danced, I could see in your eyes

A7 E
You and me as senior citizens in love



E6 E
Followed your perfume out away from all the rabble

E6 E
Right up to your room for a drink and travel scrabble

C#m Aa7
You, stationed in the warm glow of the T.V.

C#m Aa7 B
Too patient as I’m playing L O V E

E E7 Aa7
And we laugh … and we laugh … and we laugh

A7 E
And we have to or we’ll end up in the bath


E6 E
Now we’re in the bath, I’m already thinking marriage

E6 E
I know that in the past it was something I’d disparage

C#m Aa7
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles

C#m Aa7 B
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals

E E7 Aa7
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left

A7 E
And I guess I’ll see you Monday like before



C#m Aa7 E
Before all the fireworks exploded

C#m Aa7 E
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying

C#m C#2 Aa7 E E6
Now what can we say? Have a nice day

E E6
Looks like rain today…

E E6 E
What you say doesn’t matter anyway



E6 E
Now I’m in the cab, heading back to my apartment

E6 E
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started

C#m Aa7
Now I’ve landed in this awkward situation

C#m Aa7 B
How can I just avoid this conversation?

E E7 Aa7
So I wait, come in late. It’d be great

A7 E
If you transferred out of state
