Intro: F-Bb-C-Bb-F-C
F
Well I was keeping my powder dry till you did more than catch my eye

Barely wearing that mini-skirt, You looked so good it almost hurt
        Bb                     C                 
I said baby you've making me crazy and you said

Chorus
Bb                      C                 F
  It's easier to get forgiveness than permission
Bb                  C                   Dm
  So why wait when you know what I'm missing
Bb                       C                Bb
  Then we could keep on keeping our distance
                       C
Spend our whole lives wishing when it's
Bb                 C                    Bb   C
  Easier to get forgiveness than permission

F
I started thinking 'bout the day we met and how lonely I'd be if I had let

My head take my heart outta asking your name I wouldn't be loving you night and day
          Bb                        C                 Bb
Oh you're so right so if you wanna hold me tight remember

Repeat Chorus

  We're not gonna do something tonight, we'll regret in the morning no
F                    G             D     C
'Cause we're gonna sleep till noon tomor--row
