[Opening]
[E]She’s like cold coffee in the morning
[A]I’m drunk off last night’s whisky and coke
[E]She’ll make me shiver without warning
[A]And make me laugh, as if I’m in on joke

[verse 2]
And you can [F#m]stay with [A]me [E]forever
Or you could [F#m]stay with [A]me [B]for now

[chorus]
And tell me if I’m [C#m]wrong
And tell me if I’m [E]right
Tell me if you need a [F#m]loving hand
[A]To help you fall asleep [E]tonight
Tell me if I [C#m]know
Tell me if I [E]do
Tell me how to fall in [F#m]love
[A]The way you want me [E]to

[verse 3]
[E]I’ll wake with coffee in the morning
[A]But she prefers two lumps of sugar and tea
[E]Outside, the day is up and calling
[A]But I don’t have to be
[A]So please go back to sleep

[verse 4]
[F#m]Stay with [A]me [E]forever
Or you could [F#m]stay with [A]me [B]for now

[chorus]
And tell me if I’m [C#m]wrong
And tell me if I’m [E]right
Tell me if you need a [F#m]loving hand
[A]To help you fall asleep [E]tonight
Tell me if I [C#m]know
Tell me if I [E]do
Tell me how to fall in [F#m]love
[A]The way you want me [E]to

[verse 5]
‘Cause I [B]love the way you [A]wake me [E]up
For good[B]ness sake, will my l[A]ove not be eno[B]ugh?

[chorus]
And tell me if I’m [C#m]wrong
And tell me if I’m [E]right
Tell me if you need a [F#m]loving hand
[A]To help you fall asleep [E]tonight
Tell me if I [C#m]know
Tell me if I [E]do
Tell me how to fall in [F#m]love
[A]The way you want me [E]to

[Closing]
Tell me if I’m [C#m]wrong, and tell me if I’m [E]right
Tell me if you need a [F#m]loving hand
[A]To help you fall asleep [E]tonight
