Intro: B |------------------------------------2-0-----------------------| G |----------------------------------------2-0-------------------| D |--------2--5-4-2-----------------2-----------4-4-2--2-2--5--3-| A |--0--4-----------6-4--2----0--4-------------------------------| Every word pronounced distinctly slowly There are no contractions nothing slurred Unprepared you watch in rank amazement As she lights her cigarette and stirs Every motion is complete no editing of anything Encouraging encouraging and not the customary bill of fore Can’t you see the lady is lingering (lingering) This lady’s lingering and you cannot believe the reason why Every sip is of the smallest quantity That still denotes apparent thirst Every question is a means to draw long answers Play the fool it doesn’t hurt Splitting spliting headache coming Get up early in the morning Where are the funny phrases that are always followed by goodbye Chorus Is it now all up to you do you now guide the evening A or do you await a further signal a look a touch a sigh Chorus Risky business all this waiting wondering A risky business all this waiting wondering (repeat) Chorus by: José Duarte [email protected]
