[Intro]
C  F  C  G
[Verse 1]
C                    F       C                      F
Darling, the door is open to my heart and I've been hoping
     Am                       Em
That you won't be the one to struggle with the key
Cmaj7          Am      F            G     C   F  C  G
We got lots of time to get together if we try.
[Verse 2]
    C               F    C                      F
The waiting time is over no man sees around the corner
Am                      Em
Walking in the rain and coming home dry
        Cmaj7             Am         F         G        C   F  C
There's something missing there it's easier to care and try.
[Chorus]
      F      G       C     F  C
And I try to wash my hands
      F      G    C        F  C
And I try to make amends
      F      G        C       F  C
And I try to count my friends
[Solo] 
C   F   C   F   Am   Em   Cmaj7  Am  F   G   C   F   C   G
[Chorus]
F    G    C    F  C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
F    G    C    F  C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
F    G    C    F  C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
    C              F           C                   F
I'd like to take a chance, but shit, Mary, I can't dance
   Am                   Em
So he's looking up your old address
Cmaj7        Am          F               G        C    F  C  G
Holly what a mess, we've got to take the rest and try.
Cmaj7          Am      F            G     C    F  C  G
We got lots of time to get together if we try.
Cmaj7          Am      F            G     C    F  C  F  C
We got lots of time to get together if we try.
