[Verse 1] AF#m Look Miles Davis, I've been swayed by the cool. A There's just something about the summertime. E There's just something about the moon. F#mDAE So I'll lay a kiss on this storm, toss it upside your window, by the roof. F#mDAE Before you change your mind, Miles, bring in the cool.

[Verse 2] A Now honey, put on your red dress. F#m And you diamond soul shoes. A Climb on down from that window. E Climb on out of your room. F#mDAE Cause I've never had a good thing and I've always had the blues. F#mDAE I always heard that you always kind of wandered, Miles, strike up the Cool.
[Chorus] AE Don't wait too long to come home. F#mD My have the years of our youth passed on. AE Don't wait too long to come home. F#mD I'll leave the front light on. AEA The night is our own, Don't wait too long.
[Verse 3] AF#m Poor mister pitiful, I can't turn you loose. AE You move like a dream I had, woke up sweating in my room. AF#m Your Mama's got plans, your daddy's aim is true. A She never understood that it ain't no good. E Papa never heard the cool. F#mDAE So now I got out my map and found me a storm. F#mD With a flick of the wrist and the turn of the key. AE You'll just fall in my arms.
[Chorus] AE Don't wait too long to come home. F#mD My have the years of our youth passed on. AE Don't wait too long to come home. F#mD I'll leave the front light on. AEA The night is our own, Don't wait too long.
[Bridge] BG#m So why don't you sing to me on this long drive home? BG#m Let the sound of your voice sway sweet and slow. EB As we go down, down, down. F#G#m From our youth to the ground. EB down, down, down. F#G#m From our youth to the ground. BF# We might always be blue.
Jackson!
