Intro:

A*, Am*, E*

A F#m

I can't stay here tonight

E C#m

there's buttons to sew

A F#m E

and lust to be made to seem tender

A F#m

with a freshened up face

E C#m

and smile-bearing lips

A Am E

I'll practice it, locked in the bathroom

A*, Am*, E*

A F#m

we can't stay here tonight

E C#m

this waitress is tired

A F#m E

of waging a war of attrition

A F#m

so pay for the coffee

E C#m

and we'll take it to go

A Am E

and you hold the cup while I'm driving

A*, Am*, E*

A F#m

I can't stay here tonight

E C#m

there's blankets to fold

A F#m E

and love to make polished and silver

A F#m E C#m

and store it away behind memory's glass

A Am E

we'll take it out when we get lonely

A*, Am*, E*
