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
