G          C              G
 Throw my ticket out the window,
G          C                   G
 Throw my suitcase out there, too,
G           C      Bm       C
 Throw my troubles out the door,
         C        Bm   Am
I don't need them any more
          G              C                G  C  G
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

G               C                   G
 I should have left this town this morning
G            C                 G
 But it was more than I could do.
G          C         Bm       C
 Oh, your love comes on so strong
           C     Bm       Am
 And I've waited all day long
        G                   C                G
 For tonight when I'll be staying here with you.


Chorus:
Cm                       G
  Is it really any wonder
Cm                                   G
  The love that a stranger might receive.
G#                               C
  You cast your spell and I went under,
Am                           D   C  Bm  Am
  I find it so difficult to leave.


                               G  C  G  C
I can hear that whistle blowin',
G             C             G
 I see that stationmaster, too,
G              C       Bm        C
 If there's a poor boy on the street,
       C       Bm      Am
 Then let him have my seat
           G              C                G
 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

Throw my ticket out the window,

 Throw my suitcase out there, too,

 Throw my troubles out the door,
