Verse 1
Em7                G         C
Turn the page from summer to fall
       G                  Em7              G         C
Been a while since I knew you were waiting up for my call
        G                  Em7                 G            C
Well, tonight, I'm lonely, can't sleep and I'm climbing the walls
          G           Am
And all I want is red wine on the night stand
Am
In the afterglow of a slow dance
N.C.
Yeah, baby


Chorus
Em      G        C        G
Take me back and leave me there
     Em                 G           C       G
Your blue jeans hanging off of your bedroom chair
Em                     G
Sun coming through the blinds
    C                          G
And hands running through your hair, baby
Em      G        C
Take me back and leave me there, yeah


Interlude
Em7 G C G


Verse 2
Em                G         C
You don't have to make promises
          G              Em                 G            C
You don't have to go and take back that goodbye that you said
        G              Em         G         C
You can move on like a southbound Greyhound bus
G           Am
Just lay me down in that memory of us, oh, woah, oh


Chorus
Em      G        C        G
Take me back and leave me there
     Em                 G           C       G
Your blue jeans hanging off of your bedroom chair
Em                     G
Sun coming through the blinds
    C                          G
And hands running through your hair, baby
Em      G        C          Em G C G
Take me back and leave me there
     Em       G    C G
Just leave me there


Bridge
Cmaj7
There, where we made love

After we made up
    Am7
Red wine on the nightstand

In the afterglow of a slow dance
N.C.
Yeah, baby

Take me back and leave me there
     Em                 G           C       G
Your blue jeans hanging off of your bedroom chair
Em                     G
Sun coming through the blinds
    C                          G
And hands running through your hair, baby
Em      G        C          Em G C G
Take me back and leave me there
     Em       G    C G
Just leave me there
