     we'd been

  |

long
         
like a worn ou

        
t recording   

 |      
     of a favo

/ |       
rite song.
            
So while she l

         
ay there sleep

  |   
in'        I r

        | 
ead the paper 

       
in bed
           
and in the per

      
sonal columns 

  |       
        there 

         |
was this lette

[Chorus 1]
              
If you like pi

  |       
      and gett

      |

the rain
          
if you're not 

       
into yoga     

 |        
       if you 

  |

    | 
idnight       

       |

And though I'm
