Tom: C
C
summer went the way of spring
G
winter's waiting in the wings
F
and we haven't saved anything
C G7
but that's alright
C
cause we already paid the rent
G
there's still some money we haven't spent
F
go put on something different
C G7
we're going out tonight
[Verse]
C
I have loved you for so long
G
even when I could only do you wrong
F
go see if they have our song
C G7
on the jukebox over there
C
a dollar gets you seven plays
G
I watch you through a smoky haze
F
a secret smile on your face
C G7
I'm sorry if I stare
[Chorus]
Am F
but you look like a stranger
C G
in that old-fashioned hat
Am F
and I've got a pocketful of change
C G
and I don't wanna go home yet
[Verse]
C
clearly I remember when
G
I used to scratch my poems
F
on the backs of other lovers in
C G7
the darkness of my mind
C
back before I made my home
G
in the marrow of your bones
F
now I know your figure like my own
C G7
even from behind
[Chorus]
Am F
but you look like a stranger
C G
in that old-fashioned hat
Am F
and I've got a pocketful of change
C G
and I don't wanna go home yet
[Verse]
C
hey and we'll be married soon
G
we'll be dancing to this very tune
F
then we'll have a honeymoon
C G7
then we'll start to fight
C
bring the tonic and the gin
G
say what was your name again?
F
stick another quarter in
C G7
and stay with me tonight
[Chorus]
Am F
but you look like a stranger
C G
in that old-fashioned hat
Am F
and I've got a pocketful of change
C G
and I don't wanna go home yet
