G            Bm7       D11      D  D7
Why can't it wait 'til morning?
 
G                 D11
We can talk about it then
 
G               Am
'Cos I've had a drink too many
 
G                    A
And my troubles, well I ain't got any
G            Bm7       D11      D  D7
Why can't it wait 'til daylight?
G                 D11
Things will seem much clearer then
G               Am
I'm tired and my eyes are weary
G                    A
And I just want you lying here with me
 
D             D11
So close your eyes

I'll make it oh, so nice
 
G            Em                           D
Well I don't wanna think about what we've said
 
G           Em                C        F6
And I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves

'Cos I just wanna hold you so close to me
 
Am7        C              D
It'll take care of itself and I wanna sleep
G            Bm7       D11      D  D7
So why can't it wait 'til next time?
G                 D11
'Cos that time may never come
G               Am
Stay here with your arms around me
G                    A
You're going nowhere without me
D             D11
So close your eyes
D                D11
I'll make it oh, so 
 
         G     Gmaj7
nice for you
