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
