Chords & lyrics
Chord names sit directly above the word where you change.
G Am How do I get close to you? G Even if you don't notice Am C As I admire you on the subway G Am When it's dark outside your house G You won't let anybody out Am C And keep a padlock on the doorway Bm Am One more cocktail Bm Am And I'm on your trail G Am If I should fall C G Act as though it never happened G Am I will retreat C G And sit inside so very quietly ( G Am C G ) 2x G Am How do I grow old with you? G Even if you don't notice Am C As I pass by you on the sidewalk G Am When it's dark outside your house G You won't let anybody out Am C You're keeping a dead girl in the closet Bm Am One more cocktail Bm Is it a good time? Am Or is it highly inappropriate? G Am If I should fall C G Act as though it never happened G Am I will retreat C G And then go back to university G Am If I should fall C G Act as though it never happened G Am I will retreat C G And sit inside so very quietly ( G Bm Am Bm ) 2x G Bm Am Bm I won't waste a moment G Bm Am Bm I won't waste a... G Bm Am Bm I won't waste a... G Am If I should fall C G Act as though it never happened G Am I will retreat C G And sit inside so very quietly G Am If I should fall C G Act as though it never happened G Am I will retreat C G And then go back to university
