One of the coolest songs to play on guitar. My guitar teacher

read.

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
