Bm                             Bm/C#
Too little to do for too long and
D                                D/F#    G               G/F#
Too little of you for my songs to be anything but lonely

In a couple weeks, you'll own me
Bm                             Bm/C#
Too tired to sleep, good morning
D                                D/F#
And I'm too wired to heed the warnin'
 G               G/F#
That there's danger in the summer

You blush and duck out of frame
        Bm
I'm an American cliché

Missin' a girl in a French café
             Gmaj7                           F#

And you say, "Same"

Missed my flight, makin' love in the morning

While everybody else was boarding
