Capo 1st fret
[Intro] 
G
GWould you care to stay till sunrise?
It's coCmpletely your decGision
It's just that going home is such a rD7ide, such a ride
D7Going home is such a ride
D7Going home is such a ride
D7Going home is such a low and lonely ridGe
GWould you hang your denim jacket
Near the pCoster by PicGasso?
Do you sleep on the left side or the riD7ght, or the right?
Would you mind if i leave on the liGght?
Would you mD7ind if it isn't too briGght?
GNow i need the window open
So if you haCppen to get chGilly
There's this coverlet my cousin hand croD7cheted, hand crocheted
Do you mind if the edges are fraGyed?
Would you liD7ke to unfasten my braGid?
Shall I mEmake you in the morning
a cB7up of homemade coffee?
I will sweeten it with honey and with cEmream
When you slAeep do you have drEmeams?
EmYou can read the early paper
And I can waB7tch you while you shave
B7Oh god the mirror's cracked
When you leAave will you come bEmack?
EmYou don't have to answer that at all
The bathroom dB7oor is just across the hall
B7You'll find an extra towel on the rack
On the paAisley patterned papEmered wall
There's a cB7omb on the shelf
I papered that wEmall myself, that wDall myself
Would you cGare to stay till sunrise?
It's compCletely your deciGsion
It's just the night cuts through me like a knD7ife, like a knife
Would you care to stay awhile and sGave my life?
Would you cD7are to stay awhile and saGve my life?
I don't kEmnow what made me say that 
I've got this fuB7nny sense of humour
You know i could not be downhearted if I tEmried, if I tDried
DIt's just that going home is such a rGide
GGoing hoCme is such a ride
Going hGome is such a ride
D7Isn't going home a low and lonely ride?G  
D7Isn't going home a low and lonely ride?G  
D7Isn't going home a low and lonely ride? G  C  G

Capo 1st fret

[Intro]

Would you care to stay till sunrise?

C G

It's completely your decision

It's just that going home is such a ride, such a ride

Going home is such a ride

D7 G

Going home is such a low and lonely ride

Would you hang your denim jacket

C G

Near the poster by Picasso?

Do you sleep on the left side or the right, or the right?

Would you mind if i leave on the light?

D7 G

Would you mind if it isn't too bright?

Now i need the window open

C G

So if you happen to get chilly

There's this coverlet my cousin hand crocheted, hand crocheted

Do you mind if the edges are frayed?

D7 G

Would you like to unfasten my braid?

Shall I make you in the morning

a cup of homemade coffee?

I will sweeten it with honey and with cream

A Em

When you sleep do you have dreams?

You can read the early paper

And I can watch you while you shave

Oh god the mirror's cracked

A Em

When you leave will you come back?

You don't have to answer that at all

The bathroom door is just across the hall

You'll find an extra towel on the rack

A Em

On the paisley patterned papered wall

There's a comb on the shelf

Em D

I papered that wall myself, that wall myself

Would you care to stay till sunrise?

C G

It's completely your decision

It's just the night cuts through me like a knife, like a knife

Would you care to stay awhile and save my life?

D7 G

Would you care to stay awhile and save my life?

I don't know what made me say that

I've got this funny sense of humour

Em D

You know i could not be downhearted if I tried, if I tried

D G

It's just that going home is such a ride

G C

Going home is such a ride

D7 G

Isn't going home a low and lonely ride?

D7 G

Isn't going home a low and lonely ride?

D7 G C G

Isn't going home a low and lonely ride?
