^AmIt's not a crime when you look the way you do ^AmThe way I like to picture you ^DmWhen I get home, it's late at night ^DmI pour a drink and watch the fight ^AmTurn off the TV, look at a book ^AmPick up the phone, fix some food ^DmMaybe I'll sit up all night and day ^DmWaiting for the minute I hear you say
