[E]Every word pronounced dis[E/G#]tinctly, slowly
There are [E]no contractions, nothing [E/G#]slurred
[A]Unprepared you watch in [A/C#]rank amazement
As she l[A]ights her cigarette and [A/C#]stirs
[Bm]Every motion is complete, no [F#m]editing of anything
En[E]couraging, encouraging, and [E/D#]not the customary bill of [A/E]fore
Chorus:
Can't you see the [A]lady is [G]lingering ([D]lingering)
[A]This lady's [E]lingering, and you cannot be[B]lieve the reason [E]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
[Dm]Is it now all [C]up to you, do [Dm]you now guide the [C]evening,
or [Dm]do you await a [C]further signal, a look,[Dm] a touch[C], a sigh [A]
Chorus
[Dm]Risky business, all this w[Bb]aiting, wondering
A [A]risky business, all this [Em]waiting, wondering (repeat)
