[Verse 1]
Cm
   Don't get emotional,
              Bb   Eb
   that ain't like you

Yesterday's still leaking through
    Bb             Ab
the roof, that's nothing new
Bb Eb
      I know I promised this
           Cm7
is what I wouldn't do

Somehow giving it
    Bbm          Ab
the old romantic fool
   Bb           Eb
Seems to better suit the mood

[Chorus]
    Cm          Cm7
So if you wanna walk me to the car
           Bb
You oughta know I'll
                   Eb
have a heavy heart
        Bb
So can we please be absolutely sure
        Abmaj7                  Ab
That there's a mirrorball?

[Verse 2]
Eb      Ebmaj7          Eb
        You're getting cynical
               Cm7
and that won't do

I'd throw the rose tint
                Ab
back on the exploded view
                Eb
Darling, if I were you
Cm7
  And how's that
                 Bb      Eb
  insatiable appetite?

For the moment whеn you
        Bb
look them in the eyеs
                        Ab
And say "Baby, it's been nice"
