		  [ch]E6[/ch]	              [ch]E[/ch]
You walked into the room and the whole place stopped to notice

           [ch]E6[/ch]                    [ch]E[/ch]
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this

[ch]C#m[/ch]                Aa7
I?ve never been ashamed of my attraction

[ch]C#m[/ch]                  Aa7               [ch]B[/ch]
I?d be happy if you gave me just a fraction

[ch]E[/ch]             [ch]E7[/ch]          Aa7
As we danced, I could see in your eyes

[ch]A7[/ch]                             [ch]E[/ch]
You and me as senior citizens in love

[ch]E6[/ch]                     [ch]E[/ch]
Followed your perfume out away from all the rabble

             [ch]E6[/ch]              [ch]E[/ch]
Right up to your room for a drink and travel scrabble

[ch]C#m[/ch]              Aa7
You, stationed in the warm glow of the T.V.

[ch]C#m[/ch]                  Aa7           [ch]B[/ch]
Too patient as I?m playing L O V E

[ch]E[/ch]              [ch]E7[/ch]             Aa7
And we laugh ? and we laugh ? and we laugh

[ch]A7[/ch]                                      [ch]E[/ch]
And we have to or we?ll end up in the bath


                   [ch]E6[/ch]          [ch]E[/ch]
Now we?re in the bath, I?m already thinking marriage

                    [ch]E6[/ch]            [ch]E[/ch]
I know that in the past it was something I?d disparage

[ch]C#m[/ch]                       Aa7
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles

[ch]C#m[/ch]                  Aa7                 [ch]B[/ch]
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals

[ch]E[/ch]	         [ch]E7[/ch]            Aa7
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left

[ch]A7[/ch]					[ch]E[/ch]
And I guess I?ll see you Monday like before

[ch]C#m[/ch]             Aa7            [ch]E[/ch]
Before all the fireworks exploded

[ch]C#m[/ch]	    Aa7	           [ch]E[/ch]
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying

[ch]C#m[/ch]          [ch]C#2[/ch] Aa7   [ch]E[/ch]            [ch]E6[/ch]
Now what can we say?   Have a nice day

[ch]E[/ch]                       [ch]E6[/ch]
Looks like rain today?

[ch]E[/ch]                         [ch]E6[/ch]          [ch]E[/ch]
What you say doesn?t matter anyway

               [ch]E6[/ch]            [ch]E[/ch]
Now I?m in the cab, heading back to my apartment

               [ch]E6[/ch]          [ch]E[/ch]
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started

[ch]C#m[/ch]                       Aa7
Now I?ve landed in this awkward situation

[ch]C#m[/ch]             Aa7                  [ch]B[/ch]
How can I just avoid this conversation?

[ch]E[/ch]	   [ch]E7[/ch]		 Aa7
So I wait, come in late. It?d be great

[ch]A7[/ch]                            [ch]E[/ch]
