Start with a ticket and a chart 
  G                  D        C    G
Explaining how we're not that far apart
        D       C      G
But you lost me on the way
    D      C             G             D
And though you claim you got a plan to go
  C         G           D      C    G   D C G
I feel your body moving closer even so

    D  C       G               D
But you got to follow your feelings 
C          G                   D      C       G
You should know I don't want to leave just to go
            D            C       G
And I'm not trying to be hard to reach 
     D     C      G D   C   G D C G D C
But I put away my only suitcase

G            D G F G    D      G    F     G        D
  And I said,  Hey, so you, you play too rough but I
C G          D       C G    D  G F   G   D  G
    I wimped out and I  waited   to say so
F   G    D C G     D C G  D C G  D C G
You play too rough

       D           C       G               D
So you sing it the way you want to hear it sung
    C        G           D        C         G
You grab the telephone a minute before it's rung
        D        C    G
And you call out into space saying
D C G          D  C  G
Do  you ever want to run
     D C    G            D    C      G    D C
Well I want to run and I want you to come

G                 D          C
Just as you first came to me
G             A             G
Wearing only perfume and a coat
    A          G          D G F G
And too too much to drink

You play too rough

D                      G             Em
  Now hope - well it's got me by the throat
             G            D                   G
And all your bicycles are dreaming of their brakes
    Em             G        D  G   Em  G D  G   Em G
But my dreams have all been fakes, oh... fakes, oh

  [pause] I want you just as you first came to me

Wearing only perfume and a coat
