Intro

(Spoken)
(D) Hey baby, (C) I guess you're wondering what I'm doing (D) home so soon
(C) Naw, I ain't sick. 
(D) It's just this morning (C) when you told me
You didn't feel like you were the most (D) important thing
in my life, anymore (C)
Well that broke my (D) heart, so I had to turn (C) around
And come (D) back and tell you what I'm gonna (C) do about it (D) 

(No Chord) I'm gonna light the bedroom (C) candles
(D) Take the phone out of the (Em) wall
We can lay around and talk for (C) hours
(D) Or maybe we won't talk at (Em) all
I'm gonna resurrect (G/B) the (C) love
That slipped away from (D) us
And the man that you've been (Em) missin'
Startin' with some (C) long, (D) slow, (Cadd9) kisses

(Spoken)
(D) I just wanna let you know how (C) ashamed I am
For making you (D) feel that way
(C) Darlin' I'm so sorry - I (D) guess I've just been spendin'
too much on (C) making a living and (D) way too little on making love
(C) But if you can just find it in your heart to forgive (D) me
(C) Girl, I swear from this moment on. (D) You'll always know where
you (C) stand with (D) me

(No Chord) I'm gonna light the bedroom (C) candles
(D) Take the phone out of the (Em) wall
We can lay around and talk for (C) hours
(D) Or maybe we won't talk at (Em) all
I'm gonna resurrect (G/B) the (C) love
That slipped away from (D) us
And the man that you've been (Em) missin'
Startin' with some (C) long, (D) slow, (Cadd9) kisses

What really matters (C) most
Is you and me this (D) close
Feeling no (Em) distance
Sharin' some (C) long, (D) slow, (Cadd9) kisses
Sharin' with some (C) long, (D) slow, (Cadd9) kisses


NOTE: It's hard to play the verses without listening to the song over and over
again. Since it's partly a recitation, you have to listen carefully.
