F# E         B                 F#
Outside the rain is coming down
  E         B           F#
Inside it's warm and dry
       E      B               F#
You'll never find a cab uptown
   E       B              F#
So why not stay the night?

    E          B                    F#
Why don't you call in sick tomorrow?
      E          B      F#
Let's sleep the day away
     E         B               F#
I've got pajamas you can borrow
      E       B     F#
Let's take a holiday


[Chorus]
E                    B             F#
You can't leave the village in the morning
         E             B         F#
When the radio writes poetry for Avenue Pi
        E               B                  F#
You get tangled in the wheels of old queen river
    E                   B                F#
And you can't find the breath to whisper goodbye
        E   B F#
Whisper goodbye


[Verse 2]
E   B         F#
Why don't you stay until the weekend?
E  B            F#
It should clear up by then
E  B        F#
As your resolve begins to weaken
E     B       F#
We'll become such good friends

E   B         F#
And you could stay until the summer
E   B      F#
And we can sleep through spring
E   B       F#
And I can telephone my drummer
E   B        F#
And have her get your things


[Chorus]
E                    B             F#
You can't leave the village in the morning
         E             B         F#
When the radio writes poetry for Avenue Pi
        E               B                  F#
You get tangled in the wheels of old queen river
    E                   B                F#
And you can't find the breath to whisper goodbye
        E   B F#
Whisper goodbye


[Verse 3]
E   B         F#
Why don't you stay until we're old
E   B        F#
And fall in love with life?
E   B         F#
Why don't you stay until we're ghosts?
E     B     F#
We'll only seem to die


[Chorus]
E                    B             F#
You can't leave the village in the morning
         E             B         F#
When the radio writes poetry for Avenue Pi
        E               B                  F#
You get tangled in the wheels of old queen river
    E                   B                F#
And you can't find the breath to whisper goodbye
        E   B F#
Whisper goodbye
