G                     Am
How do I get close to you?
                  G
Even if you don't notice
                Am     C
As I admire you on the subway
G                           Am
When it's dark outside your house
                      G
You won't let anybody out
                   Am      C
And keep a padlock on the doorway

Bm       Am
One more cocktail
Bm         Am
And I'm on your trail

G           Am
If I should fall
C                      G
Act as though it never happened
G        Am
I will retreat
  C                    G
And sit inside so very quietly

( G  Am  C  G ) 2x

G                      Am
How do I grow old with you?
                  G
Even if you don't notice
                 Am     C
As I pass by you on the sidewalk
G                           Am
When it's dark outside your house
                      G
You won't let anybody out
                           Am      C
You're keeping a dead girl in the closet

Bm           Am
One more cocktail
Bm
  Is it a good time?
Am
  Or is it highly inappropriate?

G           Am
If I should fall
C                      G
Act as though it never happened
G        Am
I will retreat
  C                    G
And then go back to university

G           Am
If I should fall
C                      G
Act as though it never happened
G        Am
I will retreat
  C                    G
And sit inside so very quietly

( G  Bm  Am  Bm ) 2x

G  Bm    Am    Bm
I  won't waste a moment
G  Bm    Am    Bm
I won't waste a...
G  Bm    Am    Bm
I won't waste a...

G           Am
If I should fall
C                      G
Act as though it never happened

I will retreat
  C                    G
And sit inside so very quietly

And then go back to university
