[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
When you Dcome across unto me with your Chair
The tangled grass of evening brGeezes
And youD do not hide your face because
SomeboCdy said one time it wasn't Dnatural
What a Gjoy for us just running down
This crooked trail of Gmmidnight
And the pGeaceful things inside me that it Amdoes
Then you whisper low "I have to go"
The acid tears start coming slow
To complicate a sAimple thing as lovGe
[Chorus]
DAwake now I don't hear the floorboards Ccreaking
As you walk back from the Gwindow
EmOr feel your satin fingers drawing Gpatterns
On my back where I lay dyiDng
Without you I'm a child who sucks the Cvacant thumb
Of emptiness left crying
When he has not had Denough
GAt the mercy of an empty room
Sing verses to some faded wall
Confused about a simple thing as love
[Verse 2]
It's to Dbad we couldn't stay here 'til the cClock
Runs out and falls from sheer Gexhaustion
Or 'til Dmorning as I watch you
As you sCtoop to pick your things up from the Dfloor
But to sGoon for us it's over
And the shock of the elGmectric light bulb sunrise
From the cGeiling up Amabove
As it dangles to remind us
Of the spiderweb that binds us
And just complicaAtes a simple thingG as love
[Chorus]
DAwake now I don't hear the floorboards Ccreaking
As you walk back from the Gwindow
EmOr feel your satin fingers drawing Gpatterns
On my back where I lay dyiDng
Without you I'm a child who sucks the Cvacant thumb
Of emptiness left crying
When he has not had Denough
GAt the mercy of an empty room
Sing verses to some faded wall
Confused about a simple thing as love
