              Dm                          Em  
I' m going back to 505 If it' s a 7 hour flight
            Dm  
Or a forty-five minute drive
    Em                                        Dm  
In my imagination you' re waiting lying on your side
              Em                                Dm  Em  
With your hands between your thighs

Dm                                     Em  
Stop and wait a sec when you look at me like that
              Dm                             Em  
My darling what did you expect? I probably still adore you
             Dm                                  Em  
With your hands around my neck or I did last time I checked

Dm  Em  

     Dm  
I' m not shy of a spark
     Em                                                      Dm  
The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark
Em                                            Dm  
Frightened by the bite no it' s no harsher than the bark
    Em                                    Dm                              Em  
A middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start

              Dm                          Em  
I' m going back to 505 If it' s a 7 hour flight
            Dm

                        Dm*  
But I crumble completely when you cry

I' m always just about to go and spoil the surprise
            Em*                                     Dm*     Em*  
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon

              Dm*                         Em*  
I' m going back to 505 If it' s a 7 hour flight
      Dm*                      Em*                                      Dm*  
Or a 45 minute drive In my imagination you' re waiting lying on your side
              Em*                                        Dm*        Em*  
With your hands between your thighs and a smile
