                     Amaj7
You walked into the room

         Emaj7
And the whole place stopped to notice

                 Amaj7          Emaj7
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this

C#m               Amaj7
I've never been ashamed of my attraction

C#m                  Amaj7         B
I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction

         Emaj7          E7         Amaj7
As we danced, I could see in your eyes

        Am                              Emaj7
You and me as senior citizens in love
[Verse 2]
                   Amaj7
I followed your perfume 

         Emaj7
out away from all the rabble

                 Amaj7          Emaj7
Right up to your room, for a drink and travel Scrabble

C#m               Amaj7
You, stationed in the warm glow of the T.V.

C#m                  Amaj7         B
Too patient as I'm playing L-O-V-E

         Emaj7          E7         Amaj7
And we laugh...and we laugh...and we laugh

        Am                              Emaj7
And we have to or we'll end up in the bath
[Verse 3]
                   Amaj7
Now we're in the bath, 

         Emaj7
I'm already thinking marriage

                 Amaj7          Emaj7
I know that in the past, it was something I'd disparage

C#m               Amaj7
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles

C#m                  Amaj7         B
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals

         Emaj7          E7         Amaj7
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left

        Am                              Emaj7
And I guess I'll see you Monday like before
[Bridge]
  C#m          Amaj7         Emaj7
Before all the fireworks exploded

C#m       Amaj7             Emaj7
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying

C#m          C   Amaj7   Emaj7
Now what can we say?

          Amaj7
Have a nice day

           Emaj7        Amaj7
Looks like rain today

           Emaj7
What'd you say?

                Amaj7    Emaj7
Doesn't matter anyway
[Verse 4]
             Amaj7
Now I'm in a cab, 

         Emaj7
heading back to my apartment

               Amaj7          Emaj7
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started

C#m               Amaj7
Now I've landed in this awkward situation

C#m                  Amaj7         B
How can I just avoid a conversation?

     Emaj7          E7           Amaj7
So I wait, come in late. It'd be great

       Am                        Emaj7
If you transferred out of state
[End on Emaj7]
