Intro: E B F# B A E
B
You wipe your makeup off
Dbm E
And you look pretty if not prettier
B
Drenched in chlorine drops
F#m A E A
You look silly if not sillier
B
Constantly getting lost inside
A
Your naked eyes
B
Overwhelmed by your curvy lines
A
As you undress me tonight
B
Without my glasses I'm blurry-eyed
A B
But I don't mind
E A Dbm E
Well, I'll be the needy me
A Dbm
Where we sat informally
E A Dbm
Sharing one cup of Tetley's tea
E A B
Curled up watching shit TV
E
Let's make it a long, long night
A
The sun?s out of sight
Dbm
When later is light
E
We'll pull down the blinds
A
It's a fine, fine line
Between four and five
Dbm
We'll savor this time
B E
Although we've got all our lives
B Dbm F#m A E
B E
We've stopped the window draft
F# A E
'Cause it was chilly, getting chillier
B E
And turned the TV off
Dbm F#m A E A
'Cause we feel to get much filthier
B
Lose all sense of my space and time
A
When I'm close to you
B E
Can't rely on our sleepless minds
A
To pull us through
B
But I'd rather be sleep-deprived
A B
And making love to you
E A Dbm E
Well, I'll be the needy me
A Dbm
Where we sat informally
E A B
Sharing one cup of Tetley's tea

Curled up watching shit TV

The sun?s back in sight

And now that it's light

We'll pull down the blinds

Between eight and nine

We'll savor this time

Although we've got all our lives

For me to be yours and you be miiiiiineeee

Let's indulge in tonight ooohhhh

'Cause tomorrow's the first day
(strumming stops)
Of the rest of our lives

Well, I'll be the needy me
A E Dbm
Where we sat informally

Sharing one cup of Tetley's tea

Curled up watching shit TV

The sun?s burning bright

And now that it's light

Let?s release the blinds

From you heart to mine

A line we designed
