Intro: A,  Am,  E 


        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
