Intro: Em A7 F#m B7
Em A7
You do the dishes, I'll carry the load
F#m B7
To make up lost time
Em A7
The trash to the brim and I'm scared of it
F#m B7
But you always know just what to say
Em A7 D
And I'm sorry if I'm coming home too late
Em A7
I'm waking up to the gap on my blinds
F#m B7
Peeking sunlight
Em A7
I'd do anything just to be with you
F#m B7
To sit and watch you slowly wake
Em A7 D
And I'm sorry if I'm coming home too late
A7 Bm7 Am7 G
A hotel room only means I'll be with you soon
A7 Bm7 Am7 G
An American state makes me feel so far away
Em A7 D
So, I promise this time I won't be late
A7 Bm7 Am7 G
And a bar on the roof's not a good way to leave you too
A7 Bm7 Am7 G
And a seat on the plane only shows that we're miles away
Em A7 D
So, I promise this time I won't be late
( Em A7 F#m B7 )
( Em A7 F#m B7 )
( Em A7 D D )
Em A7
I'll do the dishes, we'll carry the load
F#m B7
Because we have time
Em A7
I emptied the trash like I said I would
F#m B7
And you'd never guess what I have to say
Em A7 D
I'm not sorry 'cause this time I won't be late
