Strum
D-DU-UDU
 summer went the way of spring
 winter's waiting in the wings
 and we haven't saved anything
 but that's  alright
 cause we already paid the rent
 there's still some money we haven't spent
 go put on something different
 we're going out  tonight
 I have loved you for so long
 even when I could only do you wrong
 go see if they have our song
 on the jukebox over  there
 a dollar gets you seven plays
 I watch you through a smoky haze
 a secret smile on your face
 I'm sorry if I  stare
 but you look like a  stranger
 in that old-fashioned  hat
 and I've got a pocketful of  change
 and I don't wanna go  home yet
 clearly I remember when
 I used to scratch my poems
 on the backs of other lovers in
 the darkness of my  mind
 back before I made my home
 in the marrow of your bones
 now I know your figure like my own
 even from  behind
 but you look like a  stranger
 in that old-fashioned  hat
 and I've got a pocketful of  change
 and I don't wanna go  home yet
 hey and we'll be married soon
 we'll be dancing to this very tune
 then we'll have a honeymoon
 then we'll start to  fight
 bring the tonic and the gin
 say what was your name again?
 stick another quarter in
 and stay with me  tonight
 you look like a  stranger
 in that old-fashioned  hat
 and I've got a pocketful of  change
 and I don't wanna go  home yet
