[Intro]
G G C C G G Em C
 
[Verse 1]
G
Close your eyes
 
I mean it for a second
 C
Close your eyes
                           G
Baby do your best to concentrate your mind
                       C
Fix it upon whatever you like
                                             G
I'm drunk on a memory back when we were just seventeen
                                 Em
Holding Lake Michigan with your eyes on me
            C                              G
Or are my hands deep in the pockets of my blue jeans?
                                                 Em
I said you could be my Meryl and I will be your James Dean
        C                   D       C   Em  D
Well I knew that you could fix my soul
 
 
[Chorus]
                             G
I want to waste awhile with you baby in the living room
                        Em
I'm never gonna sleep again
               C              G       D
You lovely creature washing over me like rain
Em                       G                 D
Slowly draining all the black out of my veins
          C     D     G          C
Until my eyes shine gold as the morning
 
 
[Verse 2]
                       G         Em   C
I was loved by a woman
              G
I remember Sundays
                               C
Driving down to Dallas in a summer haze
                                   G
Sugar I was up when you walked off the plane
                                   C
Standing like an angel with your suitcase
            D                      C        Em    D
And all I wanted was to be your guardian
 
 
[Chorus]
                             G
I want to waste awhile with you baby in the living room
                        Em
I'm never gonna sleep again
               C              G       D
You lovely creature washing over me like rain
Em                       G                 D
Slowly draining all the black out of my veins
          C     D     G          C
Until my eyes shine gold as the morning
 
 
[Outro]
                       G         Em   C
I was loved by a woman
 
                             G
I want to waste awhile with you
                             Em    C
I want to waste awhile with you
                             G
I want to waste awhile with you
                              Em   C
I want to waste awhile with you
                              G
I want to waste awhile with you
