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
