A F#m
I can't stay here tonight
E C#m
there's buttons to sew
A F#m E
and lust to be made to seem tender
A F#m
with a freshened up face
E C#m
and smile-bearing lips
A Am E
I'll practice it, locked in the bathroom
A, Am, E
A F#m
we can't stay here tonight
E C#m
this waitress is tired
A F#m E
of waging a war of attrition
A F#m
so pay for the coffee
E C#m
and we'll take it to go
A Am E
and you hold the cup while I'm driving
A, Am, E
A F#m
I can't stay here tonight
E C#m
there's blankets to fold
A F#m E
and love to make polished and silver
A F#m E C#m
and store it away behind memory's glass
A Am E
we'll take it out when we get lonely
A, Am, E
