[Intro]
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
[Verse 1]
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
We were walking
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
Just the other day
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
It was so hot outside
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
You could fry an egg
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
Remember you were talking
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
And I watched as... sweat ran down your face
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
Reached up and I caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertips
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb F
(We were, We Were) Just wasting time
Eb
Let the hours roll by
Cm
Doing nothing for the fun
Eb F
Little taste of the good life
Eb
Whether right or wrong
[Chorus]
F
Makes us want to stay stay stay stay
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
for awhile
(Improvise at this break.)
[Verse 2]
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
Then later on
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
The sun began to fade
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
Then the clouds rolled over our heads
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
And it began to rain
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
Oh we were dancing mouths open
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
Oh we were splashing tongue taste
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
For a moment this good time would never end
Bb Ab Gm Ab Gm Ab
You and me you and me
[Pre Chorus]
Eb F
Just wasting time
Eb
I was kissing you
Cm
You were kissing me love
Eb F
From good day into a moonlight
Eb
Now a night so fine
[Chorus]
F Eb
Makes us want to stay stay stay stay stay for awhile
[2nd Chorus]
Eb F
Hey love
Eb
Oh just groping you
Cm
Rolling in the mud
Eb F
Stay a while
Eb
Come on love
F Bb
I wanna stay stay stay stay stay for a while
Repeat what ever chords you want for the end, then end on a Bb
