Well, [D] you've got a ring, you've [C] got a new last name
You got [G] the same old eyes, [C] they're the same, all the same
And you've [F] got a heart, well, big [C]
enough [B] to kill [Am] us all
But when [G] you fall, well, damn, [C] you fall
Well, you've [G] got a way, and you've [C] got a way with it
Oh, and you've [G] got a look that could drop [C] me dead here on the floor
And you've got [F] a touch, it's [C] the [Bm] sweetest one [Am] I know
I've [G] gotta go, yeah, I've [C] gotta go
[G] Oh, and everything's so easy up [F]
until it's [C] complicated
[G] Until we wake with our heads shaking [F] at the [C] choices we have made
[G] Well, to call the whole thing stupid seems [F] so sorely [C] understated
Oh, but can we dance a little [G]
longer?
Can [F] we call a spade a spade?
[G]
[D] [C]
Well, [G] you've gotta try a little [C] awful hard to keep it hidden
You've got [G] a man, yeah, I've got a man
Oh, and I've [C] been acting like a kid
And you've [F] got more than [C] a tattoo [Bm] up your [Am]
sleeve
It's time [G] to leave, it's time to leave, it's time [C] to leave
[G] Oh, and everything's so easy up [F] until it's [C]
complicated
Until [G] we wake with our heads shaking [F] at the choices we [C] have made
[G] Well, to call the whole thing stupid seems [F] so sorely [C]
understated
Oh, but can we dance a little [G] longer?
Can [F] we call a spade a spade?

[G] [F]
[C]
Well, I've gotta [G] quit, [D]
yeah, darling, [C] I guess I do too
Well, I'll take [G] a hint, oh, take a hint
It's high [C] time we get a clue, darling, [F] please
Oh, please, well, [C] could you [Bm] stop saying [Am]
love?
Oh, this [G] ain't love, no, this ain't love, good God [C] above
[G] Oh, and everything's so easy up [F] until it's [C]
complicated
Until [G] we wake with our heads shaking [F] at the choices we [C] have made
[G] Well, to call the whole thing stupid seems [F] so sorely [C]
understated
Oh, but can we dance a little [G] longer?
Can we [F]
call a spade a spade?
[C] Can we dance a little [G] longer?
Can [F] we [N] call a spade a spade?
