[Verse 1]
EbI get home and Fmit's already Dbdark
EbKick my shoes off, Fmleave them in the Dbhall
It's been Ebfreezing in this Fmhouse
Since the Dbday that you flew south
Now I'm Ebshivering, just Fmtryna switch you Dbout
As Bbmcliche as it Ebseems
I'm Fmstrung out Ebon a Dbdream
It's Bbmtaking all my Fmstrength
To keep me Ebclean
[Chords]
Take the Abedge off
Take the Ebedge off
I just Fmneed a little taste
To Dbget me through the night
Take the Abedge off
Take the Ebedge off
Lord knows Fmwhat I'd give away
To Dbfeel you one more time
[Verse 2]
I Ebknow by now for Fmcertain you moved Dbon
Maybe Ebyou were someone Fmelse's all Dbalong
EbSlipping off your Fmdress
Lean your Dbhead against his chest
EbWhile I'm left here in the Fmarms of my Dbregret
The Bbmceiling, it spins and Ebshakes
And Fmstill I Ebcannot Dbescape
There's Bbmonly one thing Fmthat can dull this Ebpain
[Chorus]
And take the Abedge off
Take the Ebedge off
I just Fmneed a little taste
To Dbget me through the night
Take the Abedge off
Take the Ebedge off
Lord knows Fmwhat I'd give away
To Dbfeel you one more time
[Bridge]
FmI'm passing Ebdays watching Abcars
The Bbmsun goes down, the Abheadlights flicker Ebon
FmThen in the Ebdark counting Abstars Bbmand Abwishing Ebupon
[Chorus]
Take the Abedge off
Take the Ebedge off
I just Fmneed a little taste
To Dbget me through the night
Take the Abedge off
Take the Ebedge off
Lord knows Fmwhat I'd give away
To Dbfeel you one more time
