Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
The film was a bust,
but we stayed to the ending
Hair all a mussed but your clothes
G 
Bm 
G 
Bm 
didn't look so bad
C 
And back on the street,
the rain was descending
In cold dirty sheets,
G 
so under the awning we sat
And then you hailed yourself a yellow cab

Verse 2

And I sat for a time by the valets in line

And I read what you wrote on the card

Above a cowboy you drew

a big dark balloon

Saying "try not to take it so hard"

But there's this nagging suspicion

that won't leave me alone tonight

Its just that everything I try to do,

Interlude 1

nothing seems to turn out right

Verse 3
C 
We laid on our backs and
stared at the ceiling
Messed with your slacks,
G 
but ended up just holding your hand
C 
The rain will remain, the tv was telling
A drip of the drain as your
G 
legs lifted brilliantly bent
And fall to resting on the ottoman

Verse 4
C 
So we turned off the tube and we
crawled to your room
G 
Leaving discarded clothes in our way
Em 
C 
And we both had some fun,
though I twice bit my tongue
G 
Em 
G 
And it lasted too long for my taste
Em 
Am 
And there's this nagging suspicion
C 
that won't leave me alone tonight
Its just that everything I try to do,

Interlude 2

nothing seems to turn out right

Verse 5

And there's this nagging suspicion

that won't leave me alone tonight

Its just that everything I try to do,

nothing seems to turn out right

Verse 6
C 
A wink and a wave and
your off to your family's
I sit and watch as the taxis
G 
lights distantly fade
I guess I always thought it'd end this way
