Would you care to stay till sunrise

Now I need the window open

When you sleep

The bathroom door is just across the hall
You'll find an extra towel on the rack
    Bb majorBb        F minorFm
On the paisley-patterned papered wall

There's a comb on the shelf

I papered that wall myself
   Eb MajorEb
That wall myself

It's completely your decision

It's just the night cuts through me like a knife (like a knife)
                 AbAb

You know I could not be downhearted if I tried (if I tried)

It's just that going home is such a ride

Going home is such a ride
   AbAb
Going home is such a ride
Eb MajorEb                AbAb
Isn't going home a low and lonely ride?
