Chorus:
           Dm                   Em
I'm going back to 505 If it's a 7 hour flight
         Dm
Or a forty-five minute drive
   Em                             Dm
In my imagination you're waiting lying
on your side
           Em                      Dm Em
With your hands between your thighs

Dm                           Em
Stop and wait a sec when you look at me like that
            Dm                     Em
My darling what did you expect? I probably still adore you
           Dm                        Em
With your hands around my neck or I did last time I checked

Not shy of a spark
The knife twists at the thought that
I should fall short of the mark
Frightened by the bite,
though it's no harsher than the bark
The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start

Chorus

But I crumble completely when you cry
It seems like once again you've
had to greet me with "Goodbye"
I'm always just about to go and spoil the surprise
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon

Chorus:
I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven-hour flight
or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side
With your hands between your thighs and a smile
