  C     G       Am
"Hey, what you doin'?"
 G     C
Not a lot
    G        Am
Shakin' and movin'
       G      C
At my local spot
       G            Am
Baby, don't ask me why
 G            C
Dont ask me why
                  G              Am
(why, why, why, why, why, why, why?)

C          Cmaj7
Lay, Lady, Lay
                  C7
On that side of a paradise
                  F
In the Tropic of Cancer
            Fm
'Cause if I had my way
          Em       Am
You would always stay
      Dm              G
And I'd be your tiny dancer, honey

Chorus:
C
  I waited for you
                   G       Am
  In the spot you said to wait
  In the city, on a park bench
                        G       F
  In the middle of the pourin' rain
            Em       Dm
  'Cause I adored you
                           Em     F
  I just wanted things to be the same
                          Em      Dm
  You said to meet me up there tomorrow
                G     C   Fmaj7
  But tomorrow never came
            G     C   G
  Tomorrow never came

Hey, what you thinkin'?
Penny for your thoughts
Those lights are blinkin'
On that old jukebox
But don't ask me why
Just swallow some wine
(Wi-wi-wi-wi-wi-wi-wine)

Stay, baby, stay
On that side of a paradise
In the Tropic of Cancer
'Cause if I had my way
You would always stay
And you'd be my tiny dancer, baby

Chorus

Dm                   Am   G   Dm
  Roses out in your country house
                       Am   G
  We played guitar in your barn
                          Am G      Dm
  And everyday felt like Sunday and I
                    Am  G
  I wish we had stayed home
             F           Em  Dm
  And I could put on the radio
          Em        F
  To our favourite song
             Em Dm
  Lennon and Yoko
            Em           F
  We would play all day long
              Em  Dm
  "Isn't life crazy?", I said
                Am           G   F
  Now that I'm singin' with Sea-ean
   Em   Dm    C
  Whoa, oh, oh

Chorus:
I could keep waitin' for you
In the spot we'd always wait
In the city, on the park bench
In the summer, on the pourin' rain
Honey, don't ignore me
I just wanted it to be the same
You said you'd love me like no tomorrow
I guess tomorrow never came (No, no, no)
Tomorrow never came (No, no)
Tomorrow never came (No, no, no)
Tomorrow never came
