A      F#m              D
How do I get close to you?
Bm                 A        F#m          Bm      D
Even if you don't notice as I admire you on the subway
  A        F#m               D
When it's dark outside your house
    Bm                 A
You won't let anybody out
    F#m            Bm      D
And keep a padlock on the door, well

D
One more cocktail
    E   D  Bm
And I'm on your trail

Chorus:
A            D
If I should fall
D                       A
Act as though it never happened
A          D
I will retreat
     D                  A
And sit inside so very quietly

How do I grow old with you?
Even if you don't notice
As I pass by you on the sidewalk
When it's dark outside your house
You won't let anybody out
You're keeping a dead girl in the closet

One more cocktail
Is it a good time?
Or is it highly inappropriate?

Chorus:
If I should fall
Act as though it never happened
I will retreat
And then go back to university
If I should fall
Act as though it never happened
I will retreat
And sit inside so very quietly

D Bm    D  Bm
I want wisdom
D Bm    D  Bm
I want wisdom
D Bm    D  E
I want wisdom

Chorus:
If I should fall
Act as though it never happened
I will retreat
And sit inside so very quietly
If I should fall
Act as though it never happened
I will retreat
And then go back to university
