AWell, maybe it's Dtime foAr getting on homDe
AThe sun is hangiDng low in the sEky
AAnd the wine in Dmy head Aturns to lewd thDoughts
FmAs it disorganisEes my mindD  
FmBut I seem to be Ethat way inclinAedD  
[Verse 3]

FmFrom goin' round Eand round in my Ahead D  
[Solo]
Solo is over   A   Dchange then  F#to  B(x2) then E, back to  Ato D  
[Verse 5]
AAnd in the morniDng, the Ashadows fall lonDger
AI sink back deep Din my chairE  
AAnd I fall into Da reveriAeD  
FmImagining that sEhe's thereD  
FmWell, it's more Ethan I can bearA  D

AOn weekends I peDrform miAraclesD  
FmTurning paychequEes into wiDne
FmTurning memories Eof her into winAeD
