Verse 1:
D MajorD                E minor 7Em7
i could almost hear the rhythm section
   AsusAsus            D MajorD
kick in as the sun began to blaze.
D MajorD             E minor 7Em7
i saw you walk across the plaza,
AsusAsus               D MajorD
figured I'd just play it like it lays.
     E minor 7Em7    AsusAsus      D MajorD
yeah yeah yeah.


Verse 2:
D MajorD                 E minor 7Em7
i think i'm gonna be real sick again.
AsusAsus              D MajorD
i think it's gonna happen real soon.
   D MajorD               E minor 7Em7
and i know i can't afford another night here in this place,
      AsusAsus           D MajorD
with its sixteenth floor view of the ocean and the dunes
    E minor 7Em7           AsusAsus D MajorD
and it's gonna be, just you and me today,
        G+G       AsusAsus     D MajorD
waiting for the other shoe to drop in Tampa Bay.

Verse 3:
D MajorD             E minor 7Em7
i can hear the roar of the crowd
AsusAsus               D MajorD
in the stadium a couple of blocks away.
D MajorD                     E minor 7Em7
it's the kind of thing that used to get me all worked up,
  AsusAsus                  D MajorD
but i don't want to talk about it now, ok, ok? ok.


Verse 4:
D MajorD                  E minor 7Em7

i don't want to deal with it anymore.
      D MajorD            E minor 7Em7
i hear the cogs all slipping at the same time,
  AsusAsus                D MajorD
and then i see you walk in through the door.
    E minor 7Em7           AsusAsus D MajorD
and it's gonna be, just you and me today,
        G+G       AsusAsus     D MajorD
