D                                Em7
i could almost hear the rhythm section
      Asus                        D
kick in as the sun began to blaze.
D                          Em7
i saw you walk across the plaza,
Asus                             D
figured I'd just play it like it lays.
          Em7       Asus            D
yeah yeah yeah.


[Verse 2]
D                                 Em7
i think i'm gonna be real sick again.
Asus                           D
i think it's gonna happen real soon.
     D                              Em7
and i know i can't afford another night here in this place,
            Asus                      D
with its sixteenth floor view of the ocean and the dunes
        Em7                     Asus D
and it's gonna be, just you and me today,
                G             Asus          D
waiting for the other shoe to drop in Tampa Bay.


[Verse 3]
D                          Em7
i can hear the roar of the crowd
Asus                              D
in the stadium a couple of blocks away.
D                                          Em7
it's the kind of thing that used to get me all worked up,
    Asus                                   D
but i don't want to talk about it now, ok, ok? ok.


[Verse 4]
D                                   Em7
i just want to get this whole thing over with.
Asus                            D
i don't want to deal with it anymore.
           D                        Em7
i hear the cogs all slipping at the same time,
    Asus                               D
and then i see you walk in through the door.
        Em7                     Asus D
and it's gonna be, just you and me today,
                G             Asus          D
waiting for the other shoe to drop in Tampa Bay.
