[Intro]
Amaj7, Emaj7 (x2)
[Verse 1]
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]
I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble
You, stationed in the warm glow of the T.V.
Too patient as I'm playing L-O-V-E
And we laugh...and we laugh...and we laugh
And we have to or we'll end up in the bath
[Verse 3]
Now we're in the bath, I'm already thinking marriage
I know that in the past it was something I'd disparage
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
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]
Now I'm in a cab, heading back to my apartment
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
Now I've landed in this awkward situation
How can I just avoid a conversation?
So I wait, come in late. It'd be great
If you transferred out of state
[End on Emaj7]
