                   D                    Am
It's a little bit late now but there's times you will,
                  D                 A#
get a little bit out of hand making all of a spill.
               D                         Am
And if we can lay this down you're going all the way,
                       D                       A#
take a look and i'll check it out 'cause I can always find it.

F Am           Dm
Such a lonely place, ooh,
F     Am                Dm
this room without your face, ooh.

Chorus:
Bm  D  A        E
Ooh, American science,
Bm   D                   A            E
all night long she can two-step and sway.
Bm  D      A          E
Ooh, it's such awful manners,
Bm             D                 A          E         N.C.
don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me.

A little megalomania becomes you, evidently
There ain't a thing you can acquire
With your cling-wrap plaything
Just look at this state
I crawl around in a daze
Like symptomatic case
Of your soul persuasion

Such a lonely place, ooh
This room without your face, ooh

Chorus

Ooh, it's a little bit later now
And there's time you will let it all get
Out of hand when you feel you feel
I just switched on the operation
Such a lovely face, ooh
It pulls me into place, ooh

Chorus - x3
