Intro: (B/E) (E) (B/E) (E) (E/A) (A) (F#m7) (B11)

A (B/E) couple of (E) days (B/E) isn't a (E) very long (E/A) time (A) (E/A) (A)
Why can't I (B/E) just walk aw(E)ay?
I (B/E) used to be (E) good at goodb(E/A)ye (A) (E/A) (A) (A/G#)
(F#m7) Out on the (C#m7) water, (F#m7) under the (C#m7) stars
(F#m7) I let the (C#m7) moonlight play a (B) trick on my (Asus2) heart

  (F#m7) You had some (B11) fun for the (B/E) weekend (E)
  But (B/C#) I'll be in (C#m7) love for the (E/A) rest of my (A) life
  (F#m7) You took me (B11) out to the (B/E) deep (E) end
  And I (B/C#) fell right (C#m7) over, I (E/A) didn't think (A) twice
  I (C) finally got (D) something worth (G) keeping 
  And (Em7) if I can't have you to(C)night
  At (Am7) least I (D11) had the (B/E) weekend (E)

(B/E) (E) (E/A) (A) (F#m7) (B11)

The radio plays, the sound of the waves rolling in
The spell of the night, sure can get under your skin
And just for a moment, I held you too close
Now I'm all out of time, and I don't wanna let go

Repeat Chorus

(D) (Cmaj7) How much can happen in a (D) night or (Eadd9) two?
(Cmaj7) I guess it's all depending (D) on your (Bm7) point of (Asus2) view

Repeat Chorus and Fade Out
