Before the Sunrise

Album: Tunes For Two

Intro: | D | D |

D
I guess I'd better try again 
                               Em
To straighten up my tie again before I leave
A7
The party's over the laughter's died 
                                        D
There's no one in this room but you and me

D
Though your lips are honey sweet 
                                          Em
And you're so close that I can feel your heartbeat
A7
Tears would fill somebody's eyes 
                                     D
If we don't make it home before the sunrise

G              A7
We could make excuses 
G                 A7            D
Blame it on late hours and the wine
G           A7
Anything we say or do 
G                        E7           A7
Won't keep the sun from comin' up on time

      D
So I guess I'd better turn and go 
                                            Em
There's one thing that you should know babe you're the one
     A7
It’s not that I don't want you to 
                                              D
Cause you know that you could stay until the dawn

D
When daylight is breaking 
                             Em
We’re not home whenever day awakens
A7
Tears will fill somebody's eyes 
                                     D
If we don't make it home before the sunrise

A7
Tears will fill somebody's eyes 
                                     D
If we don't make it home before the sunrise
