Amaj9                         Am6
You need to weigh your options
                        Emaj7
All you do is talk about
                             E7
The dream or what you call it
                            N.C.
Is it everything you wanted?
                Amaj9
Is it big enough for the two of us?
         Am6
What’s a couple more,
maybe two of us?
     Emaj7
Am I big enough for the two of us?
      E7
Is it room enough,
is it room еnough?
