D Dmaj7
[Verse 1]
Bm
I stand on your steps
E
A few minutes left
A
I was holding out for you
Bm E
Your last cigarette is still on your breath
F#m C#
And I was embracing the haze
Bm
But you're a mess
E A C#
And I was impressed by just about anything
Bm
Whatever you said
E
Went straight to my head
[Pre Chorus]
D
And now there's nothin else that you can say
D
We might as well just do this
[Chorus]
D A
When we talk about love
C#m
Its not a discussion
A
If you want it enough
C#m
Then you got to do something
F#m
And you need to know this
E D
Please don't blow it now
A
If you know that we should
C#m
And its not worth debating
A
If it's already good
C#m
Then what good is waiting
F#m
And you need to know this
E D
Please don't blow it now
[Verse 2]
Bm
You're every perfume (not 100% sure what Keith says here)
E
You liven the room
A
I could use a tending to
Bm
Theres crumbs in the rug
E
We've blown every bulb
F#m C#
But I love the taste of the place
Bm
There's porcelain dolls
E
But when you were blonde
A C#
They looked way too much like you
Bm E
I've got to admit you've got me convinced
[Pre Chorus]

And now there's nothin' else that you can say
