Intro: E6 E E6 E
E6 E
You walked into the room and the whole place stopped to notice
E6 E
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
C#m Aa7
I’ve never been ashamed of my attraction
C#m Aa7 B
I’d be happy if you gave me just a fraction
E E7 Aa7
As we danced, I could see in your eyes
A7 E
You and me as senior citizens in love
E6 E
Followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
E6 E
Right up to your room for a drink and travel scrabble
C#m Aa7
You, stationed in the warm glow of the T.V.
C#m Aa7 B
Too patient as I’m playing L O V E
E E7 Aa7
And we laugh … and we laugh … and we laugh
A7 E
And we have to or we’ll end up in the bath
E6 E
Now we’re in the bath, I’m already thinking marriage
E6 E
I know that in the past it was something I’d disparage
C#m Aa7
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles
C#m Aa7 B
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
E E7 Aa7
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
A7 E
And I guess I’ll see you Monday like before
C#m Aa7 E
Before all the fireworks exploded
C#m Aa7 E
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
C#m C#2 Aa7 E E6
Now what can we say? Have a nice day
E E6
Looks like rain today…
E E6 E
What you say doesn’t matter anyway
E6 E
Now I’m in the cab, heading back to my apartment
E6 E
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
C#m Aa7
Now I’ve landed in this awkward situation
C#m Aa7 B
How can I just avoid this conversation?
E E7 Aa7
So I wait, come in late. It’d be great
A7 E
If you transferred out of state

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BARENAKED LADIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
