INTRO:
E

VERSE 1:
A      F#m              D
How do I get close to you?
Bm                A         F#m            Bm   D
Even if you don't notice as I admire you on the subway
A         F#m                 D
When it's dark outside your house
    Bm                A
You won't let anybody out
    F#m            Bm     D
And keep a padlock on the door, well

PRE-CHORUS:
D
One more cocktail
    E   D  Bm
And I'm on your trail

CHORUS:
A           D
If I should fall
D                      A
Act as though it never happened
A        D
I will retreat
    D                  A
And sit inside so very quietly

Even if you don't notice as I pass by you on the sidewalk
A         F#m               D
When it's dark outside your house
    Bm                A
You won't let anybody out
       F#m                 Bm     D
You're keeping a dead girl in the closet

PRE-CHORUS:
D
One more cocktail
E             D
  Is it a good time?
Bm
  Or is it highly inappropriate

If I should fall

Act as though it never happened
A        D
I will retreat
    D                  A
And then go back to university
A           D
If I should fall
D                      A
Act as though it never happened
A        D

And then go back to university
