[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
A few more cigarettes now honey
G
One more jolt of Joe
G
A couple hours past New York city
G
A few more turnpike tolls
C
One more minute away from you
C
Is a minute that lasts too long
G
When I get back we're going to lock the door baby
G
Disconnect the phone
D
We could use a week to get reacquainted
D
Some time to feel it out
C
But leave your small talk back at home baby
C
This ain't what that's about
[Chorus]
G
Just read my lips
G
Yes I think you can
G
Just read my lips
G
And you'll understand
[Verse 2]
G
Well I can see it in your eyes now honey
G
Because I've seen it in myself
G
You've got a few old scars that's ancient history
G
Baby that was someone else
C
Well I could tell you that you're only human
C
That you're right to be afraid
G
But how can you pull back on me now
G
Don't you make that big mistake
D
Well you could give it up
D
Or you could just give in
D
Now it's a choice between the two
C
You aren't born no yesterday baby
C
I wasn't born a fool
[Chorus]
G
Just read my lips
G
Yes I think you can
G
Just read my lips
G
And you'll understand
G
Just read my lips
G
And you can rad my mind
G
Just read my lips
G
Just one more time
[Guitar Solo]
G7
[Verse 3]
G
This ain't no game of cat and mouse
G
It ain't no truth or dare
G
I ain't got twenty questions for you
A D
Just one thing to declare
[Chorus]
G
Just read my lips
G
Yes I think you can
G
Just read my lips
G
And you'll understand
[Outro]
G
Baby read my lips
G
And you can read my mind
G
Just read my lips baby
G
One more time, oh
[Outro-Guitar Solo]
