  D                D/C#
I guess I'd better try again 
   D/B              D/A         Em
To straighten up my tie again before I leave
A
The party's over, the laughter's died 
        A                               D
There's no one in this room but you and me

D                    D/C#
Though your lips are honey sweet 
    D/B                  D/A             Em
And you're so close that I can feel your heartbeat
A
Tears would fill somebody's eyes 
   A                                D
If we don't make it home before the sunrise


Chorus:
G             A
We could make excuses 
G                A             D
Blame it on late hours and the wine
G           A
Anything we say or do 
      G                 E7           A
Won't keep the sun from comin' up on time


So I guess I'd better turn and go 
There's one thing that you should know babe you're the one
It’s not that I don't want you to 
Cause you know that you could stay until the dawn


When daylight is breaking 
We’re not home whenever day awakens
Tears will fill somebody's eyes 
If we don't make it home before the sunrise


Tears will fill somebody's eyes 
If we don't make it home before the sunrise
