The Lady Is Lingering

Intro:  
     A         G     D         A        E           B           E 
B|------------------------------------2-0-----------------------|     
G|----------------------------------------2-0-------------------|     
D|--------2--5-4-2-----------------2-----------4-4-2--2-2--5--3-|

E                        E/G#
Every word pronounced distinctly, slowly
          E                        E/G#
There are no contractions, nothing slurred
A                       A/C#
Unprepared you watch in rank amazement
        A                       A/C#
As she lights her cigarette and stirs

Bm                           F#m
Every motion is complete, no editing of anything
  E                           E/D#                      A/E
Encouraging, encouraging, and not the customary bill of fore


Refrão -------------
                  A       G          D
Can't you see the lady is lingering (lingering)
A           E                           B                E
This lady's lingering, and you cannot believe the reason why
-------------------- 

 Every sip is of the smallest quantity
That still denotes apparent thirst
Every question is a means to draw long answers
Play the fool, it doesn't hurt

Splitting, spliting headache coming Get up early in the morning
Where are the funny phrases that are always followed by goodbye

Chorus

Dm            C             Dm                C
Is it now all up to you, do you now guide the evening,
   Dm             C                      Dm      C        A
or do you await a further signal, a look, a touch, a sigh

Chorus

Dm                        Bb
Risky business, all this waiting, wondering
  A                        Em
A risky business, all this waiting, wondering (repeat)

Chorus
