[Chorus]
                     G
Baby, put those baby blues away
                            Em7
One more look will get that bed unmade
                      Am7
We're already runnin' late
                           D
Ain't much more that I can take
                     G
Baby, put those baby blues away


[Verse 1]
                  Am7
That reservation, 7:30
Am7
And it's 7:31
                   G
Thought we weren't in a hurry
                            C
Why you got one last button on?
                Am7
You're thinkin' somethin' dirty
Am7
It ain't martinis in a glass
  D              A           D
I hate to do it, but I gotta ask


[Chorus]
                     G
Baby, put those baby blues away
                            Em7
One more look will get that bed unmade
                      A7
We're already runnin' late
                           D
Ain't much more that I can take
                     G
Baby, put those baby blues away

Yeah, you know how to get me, don't ya?
Am7
Oh, maybe just a kiss
           G
And then I swear we're goin', okay, maybe one more after this
           Am7
I know you know
Am7
That you ain't playin' fair

If we got any chance of gettin' there

One more look will get that bed unmade
                      A7
We're already runnin' late
