Intro 2x: E   F#m   A  

Verse 1:
                         E     F#m     A   (Repeat for every line)
Baby, take off your coat
And I'll loosen my tie
Well you are far too beautiful 
For us to turn off the lights

Your December skin
And the trail of our clothes
You can keep your socks on
If your feet are cold

Chorus:
F#m             A
But I don't want to have to ask permission
E               B
Give me a chance
F#m
It won't be perfect
        A                       E          B      B7
Just an unbroken promise from an imperfect man

Verse 2:
                     E     F#m     A
Your red wine tongue
My sudden loss of breath
You like the sound of my heartbeat
When you lay your head on my chest

Chorus:
F#m             A
But I don't want to have to ask permission
E               B
Give me a chance
F#m
It won't be perfect
        A                          E            B
Just an unbroken promise from an imperfect man

Bridge:
F#m                              A
So draw all the curtains, All the goodbyes are gone
E                    B
Love found through love gone wrong
F#m                          A
An unbroken promise from this broken man
E                  B                            B7
To love you the best that I can

Verse 3:
                                  E     F#m     A
So baby, please take off your coat
Ohh and I'll turn on the lights
Cause baby I made plans
(no strumming)
To stay the rest of my life
