  			A          Amaj7 
Counting the days on the calendar 
                 A7    D                Dm 
Strange how they bleed into each other  All that I need  
     A        E             A          Amaj7 
Is a day with you Pencil me in on your Saturday 
          A7    D                   Dm 
Taking my leave Should I be waylaid please wait for me 
 
 
  
     A        Amaj7         A7     Dm 
On a day with you Maybe for now an hour will do 
 
 
 
  F#m            F#m    
Remember my dear this time last year 
    E4                        B 
The sunsets were late and the days were long  
                    Bm                F#m 
And the nights were filled with song 
                Bm               E 
The nights were filled with song 
 
 
 
F#m                         F#m                  
Strolling the street we're strangely complete 
E4                        B 
Let's stay awake till the morning comes 
              Bm      F#m 
We don't need anyone 
              Bm     E 
We don't need anyone 
 
 
 
           A           Amaj7                    A7      
Wasting my life at the traffic lights Getting nowhere 
D                         Dm 
Trapped in the turnstiles Stay within reach 
 
 
 
     A        Amaj7         A7     Dm              A 
Of a day with you Maybe for now an hour will do
